IBM security solutions
IBM security solutions help keep electronic business transactions safe. They include
the following:
v Data protection
v Locked keyboard
SMART hard disk drive
Your computer comes with a SMART hard disk drive that is enabled to report
potential hard disk failures. If an error is detected, a DMI-compliant warning
message is sent to the computer screen and, if the computer is part of a network,
to an administrator console. When an error is detected, the data on the hard disk
can be backed up and the drive replaced.
SMART Reaction
To help back up important data, IBM provides SMART Reaction
™
software on the
computers with preinstalled software and also on the IBM Software Selections CD.
SMART Reaction is a client/server software application that helps users and
administrators respond effectively to a warning issued by the SMART hard disk
drive.
Virus protection
Norton AntiVirus for IBM is installed on the hard disk of computers that have
preinstalled software. Norton AntiVirus is available on the IBM Software Selections
CD.
Locking the keyboard
You can lock the keyboard so that others are unable to use it. If a user password is
set, the keyboard is locked when you turn on the computer. You must type the
correct password before the keyboard will unlock. You can enable the user
password feature with the BIOS Setup Utility program. See Setting Security
Passwords in Access IBM.
Some operating systems have a keyboard and mouse lock-up feature. Refer to the
documentation that comes with your operating system for more information.
Shutting down
When you are ready to turn off the computer, always use the shutdown procedure
in “Shutting down” on page 14 to save data and prevent damage to your
applications.
Important
In some circumstances, your computer might not turn off immediately when
you press the power control button. If this happens, press and hold the
power-control button until the computer turns off.
