Chapter 4. Security This chapter provides information about how to protect your computer from theft and unauthorized use. Security features The following security features are available on your computer: • Computrace Agent software embedded in firmware The Computrace Agent software is an IT asset management and computer theft recovery solution. The software detects if changes have been made on the computer, such as hardware, software, or the computer call-in location. Note: You might have to purchase a subscription to activate the Computrace Agent software. • Cover presence switch (also called intrusion switch) The cover presence switch prevents your computer from logging in to the operating system when the computer cover is not properly installed or closed.

Set the administrator password. See "Setting, changing, and deleting a password" on page 38. 3. From the Security submenu, select Chassis Intrusion Detection ➙ Enabled.
