The Smart Cover Lock is an optional feature included on select
models only.
The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock,
controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents unauthorized
access to the internal components. The computer ships with the
Smart Cover Lock in the unlocked position. For more information
about locking the Smart Cover Lock, refer to the Desktop
Management Guide on the Documentation Library CD.
If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your password
to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover FailSafe Key to open
the computer cover. You will need the key to access the internal
computer components in any of the following circumstances:
■
Power outage
■
Startup failure
■
PC component (for example, processor or power supply) failure
■
Forgotten password
CAUTION: The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool available
from HP. Be prepared; order this key before you need one.
