Compaq also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information. Security features such as the Smart Cover Sensor and the Smart Cover Lock, available on select models, help to prevent unauthorized access to the internal components of the PC. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets. Memory Change and Smart Cover Sensor alerts can be automatically forwarded to Compaq Insight Manager products to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a computer's internal components. There are three ways to manage security settings on your Compaq computers:
 Locally, using the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities. See the Hardware Reference Guide included with the computer for additional information and instructions on using the Computer Setup Utilities.
 Remotely, using the Compaq Remote Security Management software. This software enables the secure, consistent deployment and control of security settings from a central point on the network using a third-party PC LAN management application such as Microsoft SMS.
 Remotely, using Compaq Insight Manager LC, a tool for managing PC workgroups. The following table and sections refer to managing security features of your Computer locally through the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities. Refer to the Remote Management Setup Utilities for more information on using the Remote Security Management software. These utilities are available on the Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com/support/files/index.html. For more information on Insight Manager LC, refer to www.compaq.com/im/lc. 4 Desktop Management Guide
