60 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Hood Sensor
The hood sensor is an optional feature that is a combination of hardware and software technology that
can alert you when the workstation access panel has been removed. This option is available as a kit that
includes the solenoid hood (Smart Cover) lock (see the following section). There are three levels of
protection, as described in the following table.
SETTING THE HOOD SENSOR PROTECTION LEVEL
To set the hood sensor protection level:
1 Turn on or restart the workstation. If you are in Windows, click Start>Shut Down>Restart.
2 Wait for the
F10=Setup prompt to appear on the lower right corner of the screen. Once you see the
prompt, press the F10 key to enter the F10 setup utility.
NOTE If you do not press the F10 key at the appropriate time, you must restart the computer and try
again to access the utility.
3 Select Security>Smart Cover>Cover Removal Sensor, then access panel, and follow the on-
screen instructions.
4 Before exiting, select File>Save Changes and Exit.
Solenoid Hood (Smart Cover) Lock
The solenoid hood lock is available as an option on HP Workstation xw4200 models (this option comes
as a kit that includes the hood sensor). When installed, the solenoid hood lock can prevent unauthorized
access to the internal components.
CAUTION For maximum cover lock security, be sure to establish a setup password. The setup
password prevents unauthorized access to the Computer Setup utility.
