A cover lock is built into your computer to prevent the cover from being removed. Two identical keys for the cover lock are also supplied. A tag attached to the keys has the key serial number and the address of the key manufacturer. Important Record the key-code number along with the manufacturer address and phone number in the space provided in "Appendix C. Computer Records". Because locksmiths are not authorized to duplicate cover-lock keys, you must order replacement keys from the key manufacturer. You will need the key code when ordering replacement keys. You can also set the chassis-intrusion detector switch inside the computer to alert the network system administrator each time the computer cover is removed. For more information about setting the chassis-intrusion alert, see Chapter 4, "Configuring your computer" on page 29. Component protection Your computer has individual component serial numbers that can be registered with a third-party security company. You can also register the entire system. By registering computer components, you can improve the chances of identifying the components if they are ever stolen and recovered. For more information about component registration, see the IBM support page at http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/desktop/assetid/ on the World Wide Web. Data protection You can lose data from the hard disk for a variety of reasons. Security violations, viruses, or hard disk drive failures can all contribute to data loss. To help protect against the loss of valuable information, IBM has incorporated the following data-saving features in your computer. SMART hard disk drive Your computer comes with a SMART hard disk drive that is enabled to report potential hard disk failures. If an error is detected, a DMI-compliant warning message is sent to the computer screen and, if the computer is part of a network, to an administrator console. When an error is detected, the data on the hard disk can be backed up and the drive replaced. SMART Reaction To help back up important data, IBM provides SMART Reaction™ software on the computers with preinstalled software and also on the IBM Software Selections CD. SMART Reaction is a client/server software application that helps users and administrators respond effectively to a warning issued by the SMART hard disk drive. Virus protection Your computer has built-in virus protection that can be enabled through the IBM Setup Utility program. This built-in protection checks for viruses in only the boot record. Also, Norton AntiVirus for IBM is installed on the hard disk and on the IBM Software Selections CD. Locking the keyboard You can lock the keyboard so that others are unable to use it. If a user password is set using the IBM Setup Utility program, the keyboard is locked when you turn on Chapter 3. Operating your computer 25
