Important Information
If you have set an administrator password, read the following:
The SystemCare and Asset ID settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility
program are enabled when your computer is shipped. If you set an
administrator password with the SystemCare and Asset ID settings enabled, the
following occurs:
� The chassis-intrusion feature of your computer is enabled. Each time you
remove the computer cover and subsequently power on the computer, the
Power-On Self-Test (POST) notifies you that the cover has been removed.
The message displayed on the computer screen is the POST message 176.
To bypass the message, you must enter the correct administrator password.
� Each time a component that is protected by asset security is removed and
the computer is powered on, a POST message notifies you of the removal.
Examples of such components are system-memory modules and the
microprocessor. The message that displays is the POST message 177.
To bypass the message, you must enter the correct administrator password.
� Each time the computer passes through an access control checkpoint that
reads Asset ID information, a POST message notifies the system manager
that there has been a security breach when the computer is powered on, if
the movement of the PC was unauthorized. To bypass the message, you
must enter the correct administrator password.
Setting or Changing an Administrator Password: Use the
Configuration/Setup Utility program to set or change an administrator password.
You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for the
password.
