•Off — The Chassis Intrusion dectection feature is disabled. If the computer cover is opened, no action is taken.

•On — The Chassis Intrusion dectection feature is enabled. If the computer cover is opened, the setting changes to Detected, and an alert message displays during the boot routine at the next computer start up.

•On-Silent (default) — The Chassis Intrusion dectection feature is enabled. If the computer cover is opened, the setting changes to Detected; however, no alert message appears during the boot routine at the next computer start up.

NOTE: For information on changing System Setup options see "System Setup" on page 81.
