Cover presence switch

The cover presence switch prevents the computer from logging in to the operating system when the computer cover is not properly installed or closed.

To enable the cover presence switch connector on the system board:

  1. Restart the computer. When the logo screen is displayed, press F1 or Fn+F1.

  2. Select Security > Cover Tamper Detected and press Enter.

  3. Select Enabled and press Enter.

  4. Press F10 or Fn+F10 to save the changes and exit.

If the cover presence switch is enabled and the computer cover is not correctly installed or closed, an error message will be displayed when you turn on the computer. To bypass the error message and log in to the operating system:

  1. Properly install or close the computer cover.

  2. Enter the BIOS menu, save and then exit.
