Tamper Detect Switch - Eurotech APOLLO 1U ICE Technical Manual

APOLLO 1U ICE

Tamper detect switch

The tamper detect feature is triggered by the opening and closing of the lid. It is
affected by a switch mounted on the PCI module:
A tamper detection input is included within the real time clock circuitry of the APOLLO
that operates in all power modes. The status of the tamper detection bit is battery
backed in static RAM. Using a normally open switch, a tamper is detected when the
switch contacts close.
The BIOS security setup screen provides two options for enabling a case open
warning. It also provides a secure chassis mode that requires the supervisor password
to be entered and the chassis intrusion detection to be disabled before the board will
boot to an operating system. Both options are disabled by default; refer to the APOLLO
Technical Manual for details.
