Chapter 6. Working with Security Options This chapter describes some of the security options that are available for your computer. Before you begin Read "Electrical Safety" on page 4 and "Handling Static-Sensitive Devices" on page 5. Turn off the computer and all other connected devices. Disconnect all cables attached to the computer and remove the computer cover (see "Disconnecting Cables and Removing the Side Cover" on page 7). To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a security U-bolt and cable to your computer. To erase lost or forgotten passwords, you can move the CMOS clear (password) jumper on the system board. Note: Use the Configuration/Setup Utility program to set, change, or delete passwords. For more information, see Using Your Personal Computer. There may be a chassis intrusion detection switch enabled on your computer. If it is enabled, you will be required to type in an administrator password after you have reassembled the computer and reconnected it. For more information on the chassis intrusion detector, see "Chassis Intrusion Detector" in Using Your Personal Computer. To guard against writing over diskettes, you can set the write-protect switch on the system board. The following list is a quick reference to these procedures: "Installing a U-Bolt" on page 60 "Erasing Lost or Forgotten Passwords" on page 62 "Setting the Diskette Write-Protect Switch" on page 65 © Copyright IBM Corp. 1997 59
