Using the cover presence 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 use the cover presence switch, enable the cover-presence-switch connector on the system board first. To
achieve this, do the following:
1. Start the Setup Utility program. See "Starting the Setup Utility program" on page 61.
2. Select Security ➙ Chassis Intrusion Detection and press Enter.
3. Select Enabled and press Enter.
4. To save settings and exit the Setup Utility program, press F10 or Fn+F10 (depending on the keyboard
settings), select Yes in the window displayed, and press Enter. The cover-presence-switch connector on
the system board is enabled.
The cover presence switch starts functioning. If the switch detects that the computer cover is not correctly
installed or closed, an error message is displayed when you turn on the computer. To fix the error and log in
to the operating system, do the following:
1. Properly remove or install your computer cover. See Chapter 9 "Hardware removal and installation" on
page 91.
2. Start and then exit the Setup Utility program. See "Starting the Setup Utility program" on page 61 and
"Exiting the Setup Utility program" on page 66.

Using firewalls

A firewall can be hardware, software, or a combination of both depending on the level of security required.
Firewalls work on a set of rules to determine which inbound and outbound connections are authorized. If
your computer is preinstalled with a firewall program, it helps protect against computer Internet security
threats, unauthorized access, intrusions, and Internet attacks. It also protects your privacy. For more
information about how to use the firewall program, refer to the help system of your firewall program.
To use Windows Firewall, do the following:
1. Click the Start button to open the Start menu.
2. Click Windows System ➙ Control Panel.
3. View Control Panel by Large icons or Small icons, and then click Windows Defender Firewall.
4. Follow the instructions on the screen.

Protecting data against viruses

Your computer is preinstalled with an antivirus program to help you guard against, detect, and eliminate
viruses.
Lenovo provides a full version of antivirus software on your computer with a free 30-day subscription. After
30 days, you must renew the license to continue receiving the antivirus software updates.
Note: Virus definition files must be kept up-to-date to guard against new viruses.
