Clearing chassis intrusion alert

The computer features a chassis intrusion switch that detects when the base cover had been removed from the computer.

Alerts to notify you of any intrusions can be enabled through the Chassis Intrusion field in the Security submenu of the BIOS setup menu.

When enabled, the Block Boot Until Cleared field allows you to choose whether to prevent normal boot-up of the computer until the intrusion alert is cleared.
