Cable Lock Provision

The workstation is equipped with a cable lock provision to secure the unit to a fixed object
and/or inhibit access to the interior of the unit. If a cable lock or padlock is installed, you must
remove it prior to servicing the workstation. See "Cable Lock" in Chapter 3 for removal
procedures.

Smart Cover Sensor

Smart Cover Sensor is a combination of hardware and software technologies that recognize the
removal of the workstation cover. The following table describes three levels of protection that
can be set.
Level
Level 0
Level 1

The behavior of the Smart Cover Sensor is determined by:

workstation cover to locate the switch on the system board with tray.
The Setup Password—See "Setup Password" or "Clearing a Setup Password" in this
chapter to enable or disable the Setup Password.
