The expansion base also includes a security connector. When the expansion base is
secured in this way, you will not be able to use the emergency undock latch. To further
prevent the computer from being undocked while the expansion base is secured, add a
password for undocking—see "To run the BIOS Setup utility" on page 135.

To protect against viruses

Virus-protection software can help protect the integrity of your data. This is especially
important if you use the Web.

Once installed, you can get detailed instructions from the software's online Help.
