SHOCK SENSOR UTILITY*
General information
The Shock Sensor Utility is designed to decrease
the risk of damage to the computer’s hard disk
drive (HDD) in the event of excessive impact or
vibration. Additionally, the Shock Sensor Utility
has the ability to improve the security of the
computer by automatically locking the computer
with a password when it is carried. Note that the
HDD protection and computer locking features
are mutually exclusive; both cannot be selected
at the same time.
* For model with Shock Sensor only.
