Chassis Intrusion displays the status of the system chassis intrusion monitor.

If the computer cover is removed, the setting changes from Not Detected to Detected and the following message is displayed during the boot sequence at system start-up:

Alert! Cover was previously removed.

To clear this field and allow future intrusions to be detected, enter the System Setup program, as described in “Entering the System Setup Program” found earlier this chapter. At the Chassis Intrusion option, use the left- or right-arrow key to choose Reset. Then press <Esc> to save the changes and reboot the system.

NOTE: When enabled, the setup password is required in order to reset the Chassis Intrusion option from Detected to Not Detected. You cannot reset the Chassis Intru- sion option without a password.

Keyboard NumLock determines whether your system boots with the Num Lock mode activated on 101- or 102-key keyboards (it does not apply to 84-key keyboards).

When Num Lock mode is activated, the rightmost bank of keys on your keyboard pro- vides the mathematical and numeric functions shown at the tops of the keys. When Num Lock mode is turned off, these keys provide cursor-control functions according to the label on the bottom of each key.

Report Keyboard Errors enables or disables reporting of keyboard errors during power- on self-test (POST), which is a series of tests that the system performs on the hard- ware each time you turn on the system or press the reset button.

This option is useful when applied to self-starting servers or host systems that have no permanently attached keyboard. In these situations, selecting Do Not Report sup- presses all error messages relating to the keyboard or to the keyboard controller during POST. This option does not affect the operation of the keyboard itself if a keyboard is attached to the computer.
