Clearing Chassis Intrusion Alert

The system features a chassis intrusion switch which can detect whenever the base cover has been removed from the system.
Alerts to notify you of any intrusions can be enabled through the Chassis Intrusion field in the Security sub-menu of the BIOS
setup menu.
When enabled, the Block Boot Until Cleared field allows you to choose whether to prevent normal boot up of the system until
the intrusion alert is cleared.
