Some HP workstations have a lock on the side access panel. The key for this lock is shipped attached to the
back panel of the workstation chassis.
Additional security features reduce the risk of theft and alert when there has been a chassis intrusion. See the
Maintenance and Service Guide for your workstation at http://www.hp.com/support/workstation_manuals for
