Smart Cover Lock
The Smart Cover Lock is an optional feature and is available on
select models only.
The Smart Cover Lock is a software-controllable cover lock,
controlled by the setup password. This lock prevents unauthorized
access to the internal components. The computer ships with the
Smart Cover Lock in the unlocked position. For more information
about locking the Smart Cover Lock, refer to the Desktop
Management guide.
Using the Smart Cover FailSafe Key
If you enable the Smart Cover Lock and cannot enter your password
to disable the lock, you will need a Smart Cover FailSafe Key to
open the computer cover. You will need the key in any of the
following circumstances:
■
Power outage
■
Startup failure
■
PC component (for example, processor or power supply) failure
■
Forgotten password
CAUTION: The Smart Cover FailSafe Key is a specialized tool
available from Compaq. Be prepared; order this key before you need
one.
