Help, I have a Dell computer tha 3

Help,

I have a Dell computer that had the case cover removed and put back on. Now when I shut down the computer and start it back up I get a message saying that the cover has been removed is there something in setup that has to be reset?

I've seen this with other Dell computers.

Case intrusion detection, it tells you when the case has been opened.

Has to be reset once you set it off.

The more I learn,I realize how much more there is to know!

Can you tell me how to reset so this message won't pop again.

Thanks,

Chassis Intrusion Detection
The chassis intrusion monitor can detect whether the computer is opened. The Chassis Intrusion option in system setup displays the status of the monitor.

Enter system setup.


Press the down-arrow key to move to the System Security option.


Press <Enter> to access the System Security option's pop-up menu.


Press the down-arrow key to move to the Chassis Intrusion option.


Press the spacebar to select an option setting.


Option settings:

Enabled — When the computer cover is opened, a DMI event is generated, the setting changes to Detected, and the following message appears at the next system start-up:


Alert! Cover was previously removed.

To reset the Detected setting, enter system setup. In the Chassis Intrusion option, press the left- or right-arrow key to select Reset, and then choose Enabled, Enabled-Silent, or Disabled.

Enabled-Silent (the default) — When the computer cover is opened, a DMI event is generated and the setting changes to Detected, but the alert message does not appear at the next system start-up.


Disabled — No intrusion monitoring occurs and no messages appear.
