A cover lock is built into the chassis of some computers 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 serial number and the manufacturer address in the space provided in Appendix A, "Computer records" on page 151, and store the tag in a safe place. Because locksmiths are not authorized to duplicate the cover-lock keys, you must order replacement keys from the key manufacturer. When ordering replacement keys, you will need the key serial number. A chassis-intrusion detector inside your computer can be set to alert the system administrator each time the computer cover is removed. This detector is enabled after you set an administrator password in the Configuration/Setup Utility program. After the password is set, and after the computer cover is removed, a POST error message (176) displays on the computer screen the next time the computer is plugged in and powered on. You must enter the correct administrator password in order to start up the computer. For information on setting passwords, see Chapter 5, "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 61.

Also, if your computer uses Alert on LAN, and you are connected to a network that uses Intel LANDesk® Desktop Manager or Intel® LANDesk Client Manager, a message is also sent to the network administrator console notifying that the computer cover has been removed. For more information, see "Alert on LAN support" on page 49 and contact your network administrator.
