drives, USB memory card readers, IEEE 1394 disk drives, and any other removable storage devices
that can be mounted as a file system when plugged into the system.

Optical Drive Devices — includes any kind of CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, HD-DVD or Blu-ray drive devices.

Floppy Drive Devices — 3.5-inch floppy drives only.

To use Acer eLock Management, the Empowering Technology password must be set first. Once set, you can
apply locks to any of the devices types. Lock(s) will immediately be set without any reboot necessary, and will

your system. Make sure to remember or write down your password.
