The integrated webcam enables the use of various communication services.
15. USB Port
The universal serial bus is a standard for connecting input devices, scanners and
other peripherals. The USB 3.0 ports are fully backwards compatible.
Your Notebook has 2 USB 3.0 connection sockets (14) and 2 USB 2.0
connection sockets (16).
PLEASE NOTE!
Where possible, always connect your USB devices to the same port that
they were originally installed on. Otherwise they will be assigned a new
ID and the drivers will need to be reinstalled.
16. Securing Your Notebook
Your new Notebook has software and hardware solutions for preventing
unauthorised access.
16.1. Password Setting (Power-on)
You can protect your Notebook against unauthorised use with a power-on
password. On switching on the Notebook, a password prompt will appear on the
screen. The password is set up in the UEFI firmware configuration.
CAUTION!
Keep your password in a safe place. If you forget your
password, you have no way of deleting it. If this happens,
contact your service centre.
You can also use the Windows
®
8 security options to protect your data against
unauthorised access.
16.2. Kensington Security Lock
you can use a so-called Kensington security lock to protect your Notebook against
theft. This security lock (complete with cable) is usually available as an accessory in
specialist retailers.
To attach the security lock, wind the cable around a stationery object, e.g. a table
leg. Plug the lock into the Kensington device and turn the key to lock it.
Keep the key in a safe place.
