Security functions

Your notebook enables you to protect your system and personal data in a number of ways against
unauthorised access. By combining these options, you can achieve maximum protection for your
system.
In this chapter you will learn which security functions your notebook is equipped with, which
advantages these functions offer you and how to configure and use them.
Please consider that in the case of improper use, you yourself will also be unable to
!
access your system and your data. Please note therefore the following hints:
•
Back up your data on external data carriers at regular intervals.
•
Passwords must be assigned for some security functions. Please be sure to note
these passwords, as otherwise you will no longer be able to access your system.
We recommend that you make a note of the passwords and keep them in a safe
place.
If you lose both the user and the admin passwords, you must contact our help desk. The
telephone numbers are contained in the "Help Desk" supplement. The loss of passwords
is not a warranty case and is therefore subject to charge.

Overview of all security functions

The following sections contain a brief description of the security functions that are provided with your
notebook as standard equipment.

Kensington Lock

With the Kensington MicroSaver, a sturdy steel cable, you can protect your notebook from theft. For
this reason your notebook is equipped with a device for the Kensington MicroSaver. The Kensington
MicroSaver is available as an accessory.

Security panel

The security panel enables you to protect your notebook from unauthorised use with a password.
When a Security Panel password is activated, the notebook will not start without the correct
insertion of a password. The password is entered before the BIOS is read out and the hardware
activated.
The password is requested from all suspend and resume modes. This ensures a high level of
security even with the energy-saving mode activated.
