Intel MB440LX manual System Security, Security with padlocks and alarm switches

System Security

There are several ways to prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system.

Security with padlocks and alarm switches:

∙Secure the side covers and the hot-docking bay metal door to the chassis by inserting padlocks (not provided) through the holes in the metal tabs protruding through slots in the covers and door.

∙Activate alarm switches for the side covers and hot-docking bay metal door. These switches transmit alarm signals to the system board. Software on the system board intercepts these signals and alerts the user to unauthorized activity.

Security with the Setup utility:

∙Set administrative and user passwords.

∙Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel controls.

Security with the System Configuration Utility (SCU):

∙Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the system requires a password to reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period—1 to 128 minutes.

∙Set an administrative password.

∙Set a user password.

∙Activate the secure mode hot-key.

∙Disable writing to the diskette drive.

∙Enable video blanking if using onboard video.
