Security
To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full lockable front panel and Server Management software that monitors the system intrusion switches.
Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring
The front bezel of the server contains a mechanical lock to prevent access to the front of the computer chassis.
The computer chassis includes an intrusion switch for the front access cover. When this cover is opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server management software processes the signal.
