Using security features
To help protect your computer hardware and software, you can use the
security features mentioned here.
Using a padlock loop
Some models come with a built-in padlock loop. Use this loop to lock the
cover to your computer with a padlock.
Using a security U-bolt
With the optional security U-bolt and a steel cable, you can secure your
computer to a desk, table, or other fixture. This helps protect against theft.
For instructions on installing a security U-bolt, see “Installing a security
U-bolt” on page 93.
Diskette write-protect switch
To help deter software and data theft, you can set the diskette write-protect
switch on the system board to prevent writing data to diskettes. See
“Setting the diskette write-protect switch” on page 78 for instructions on
setting this switch.
SMART III hard disk drive
Your computer comes with a SMART III (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and
Reporting Technology) 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. Once an error is detected, the data on
the hard disk can be backed up and the drive replaced.
Virus protection
Your computer has built-in virus protection that can be enabled through the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. In addition, Norton AntiVirus for
IBM is available on the IBM Software Selections CD. For further information
about Norton AntiVirus for IBM or other software, see About Your Software.
