ibm anti-intrusion features help protect against the theft of computer components, such as the microprocessor, system memory modules, or hard disk drives.

    a cover lock is built into the computer to prevent the cover from being removed. two identical keys for the cover lock are also supplied. a tag that is attached to the keys has the key serial number and the address of the key manufacturer.

    keep the key-code number, manufacturer address, and phone number in a safe place. because locksmiths are not authorized to duplicate cover-lock keys, you must order replacement keys from the key manufacturer. you will need the key code when ordering replacement keys.

    you can set the chassis-intrusion detector inside the computer to alert the network administrator each time the computer cover is removed. for more information about enabling the chassis-intrusion detection, see chapter 3, “configuring the computer,” on page 21.
