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

    a cover lock is built into your computer to prevent the cover from being removed.

    two identical keys for the cover lock are also supplied. a tag attached to the keys has the key serial number and the address of the key manufacturer.

    keep the key-code number and 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 switch inside the computer to alert the network system administrator each time the computer cover is removed. for more information about setting the chassis-intrusion alert, see chapter 3, “configuring your computer” on page 21.
