Securing your computer
Your computer is a valuable investment that you need to take care of.
Learn how to protect and take care of your computer.
Security features include hardware and software locks — a security
notch and passwords.
Using a computer security lock
A security keylock notch located on the rear panel of the computer lets
you connect a Kensington-compatible key-based computer security
lock.
Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object such
as a table or locked drawer handle. Insert the lock into the notch and
turn the key to secure the lock. Some keyless models are also available.
Using passwords
Three password types protect your computer from unauthorized
access. Setting these passwords creates several different levels of
protection for your computer and data:
• Supervisor Password secures your computer against unauthorized
use (when the Password on boot parameter is enabled) and allows
full access to the BIOS Utility.
• User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use
(when the Password on boot parameter is enabled) and allows
limited access to the BIOS Utility.
