Security Chip

Embedded Security Chip

Every thinkpad (at least T40 series) comes with a embedded security chip.

However, when we buy the laptop, the ESC software is not installed / activated.

You would need to go to IBM website, go to Support and Download to get the software.

After that, you would need to install them and voala, you get the best security software!

The files you need to download and install is

LPCSETUP, CSSMBUSDRIVERPKG, CSEC510US_003H and PWMGR120US_001D.

Upgrade Ram

Hello... i using the R40 model and i intend to add another 256mb of Ram. Is it that as long as the RAM is DDR PC2100(266MHZ) then it will be compatible? Or do we have to buy from IBM?

[hotkidd]

Went into the BIOS screen for the T40.... under the IBM security Chip tab.... the default setting is disabled... what is that for?

 

[hotkidd]

Finally... what is the difference between "Restore your backups" and "Recover to factory contents"?
