Lenovo 336655U manual Active Protection System, Client Security Solution, Communications Utility

Active Protection System

The Active Protection System program protects your hard disk drive when the shock sensor inside your computer detects a condition that could damage the drive, such as system tilt, excessive vibration, or shock. The hard disk drive is less vulnerable to damage when it is not operating. This is because when the hard disk drive is not operating, the system stops it from spinning, and might also move the read and write heads of the drive to areas that do not contain data. As soon as the shock sensor senses that the environment is stable again (minimal change in system tilt, vibration, or shock), it turns the hard disk drive on.

Client Security Solution

The Client Security Solution program protects your computer by securing client data and deflecting security breach attempts. It also can help manage your passwords, recover a forgotten password, monitor security settings on your computer, and suggest how to enhance your computer security.

Communications Utility

Use the ThinkVantage Communications Utility program to configure settings for the integrated camera and audio devices.

Fingerprint Software

If your system comes with a fingerprint reader, the Fingerprint Software program enables you to enroll your fingerprint and associate it with your Windows password. As a result, the fingerprint authentication can replace your password and enable simple and secure user access.

GPS Enabler

If the PCI Express Mini Card installed in your computer supports GPS, your computer can receive signals from GPS satellites and determine its location. If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can find your location on a real-time map provided by Google Maps or Microsoft Bing™ Maps.

Lenovo AutoLock

To help guard against unauthorized use, the Lenovo AutoLock program automatically locks the computer screen when the integrated camera does not detect human presence through facial feature recognition. The integrated camera starts detecting facial feature when there is no activity from the keyboard or mouse for a certain period of time.

Lenovo Solution Center

The Lenovo Solution Center program enables you to troubleshoot and resolve computer problems. It combines diagnostic tests, system information collection, security status, and support information, along with hints and tips for maximum system performance.

•Lenovo Solution Center

•Power Manager

•OneKey Recovery Pro
