interface, and can blank the screen, without exiting open
applications.

Enabling QuickLock and QuickBlank

bypass the title screen, if necessary.
If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed,
you must turn the computer off, then on again, to access the utility.

the instructions on the screen.
4. Before exiting, click File Æ Save Changes and Exit.

Disabling the Keyboard and Mouse Interface

Enter the QuickLock key combination (Ctrl+Alt+L) to disable
the keyboard and mouse (or other input device connected to the
mouse connector). The applications you are running cannot be
accessed, but remain in view, unless the QuickBlank feature is
also enabled through the Computer Setup utility.

Enabling the Keyboard and Mouse Interface

To enable the keyboard and input device connected to the
mouse connector, enter the power-on password.
For security reasons, the characters you type do not
appear on the screen. The application will not be affected
by the characters typed.
A physical security device for your computer may also be
available, through the cable lock provision. See your Guide to
Features & Upgrades for more information on using and
installing the cable lock provision.
