Chapter 4. Security This chapter provides information about protecting your computer from theft and unauthorized use. Attaching a mechanical lock You can attach a mechanical lock to your computer to prevent it from being removed without your permission. Attach a mechanical lock to the keyhole of the computer; then secure the chain on the lock to a stationary object. Refer to the instructions shipped with the mechanical lock. Note: You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing the locking devices and security features. Lenovo makes no comments, judgments, or warranties about the function, quality, or performance of locking devices and security features. Using passwords Using passwords helps prevent your computer from being used by others. Once you set a password and enable it, a prompt appears on the screen each time you power on the computer. Enter your password at the prompt. The computer cannot be used unless you enter the correct password. Note: This password can be a combination of one to seven alphanumeric characters. For more information about how to set the password, refer to the online help information system on the right screen of the BIOS program. Note: To enter the BIOS program, press F1 when the Lenovo logo is displayed on the screen while the computer is starting up. Using a fingerprint reader With the fingerprint reader, in addition to registering fingerprint information and using it as a password for Windows operating system or Web site logon, you also can launch applications quickly and encrypt private data with your fingerprint to secure your computer. For more information, refer to the online help information system of the fingerprint software. Using the Active Protection System program Some Lenovo models have the Active Protection System program preinstalled. As a reliable safeguard, the Active Protection System program reduces the possibility of shock damage to the hard disk drive that may result in data loss. When your computer is subject to shock or excessive vibration, the shock sensor in the computer detects the condition and stops the hard disk drive until the environment is stable again. © Copyright Lenovo 2013 21
