Note: You might have to purchase a subscription to activate the Computrace Agent software.

•Cover presence switch (also called intrusion switch)

The cover presence switch prevents your computer from logging in to the operating system when the computer cover is not properly installed or closed. To enable the cover presence switch connector on the system board, to the following:

1.Start the Setup Utility program. See “Starting the Setup Utility program” on page 77.

2.Set the Administrator Password. See “Setting, changing, and deleting a password” on page 78.

3.From the Security submenu, select Chassis Intrusion Detection ➙ Enabled. The cover presence switch connector on the system board is enabled.
