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.
