TITLE:  Chassis Intrusion, Bravo MS/MS-T
 
 
ISSUE 
 
   When the Chassis Intrusion feature is ENABLED in System Setup, if 
   the cover was removed, the Bravo MS or MS-T system may not warn 
   the user that an intrusion was detected.
   
   This issue affects all Bravo MS and MS-T systems.    

 
BACKGROUND 
 
   N/A    

 
ACTION 
 
   Customers concerned about chassis intrusion have the added option 
   of locking their computer system with the included lock eyelet 
   which is located on the back of their system.    

 
NOTES 
 
   The system is operating as designed.
   
   Due to the differences in ambient lighting and the computer's 
   physical locations, the Chassis Intrusion feature may not detect 
   a Mini-Tower that has had its cover removed.
   
   The Bravo MS/MS-T uses a photocell to detect light hitting the 
   sensor. Because one cannot determine the actual amount of light 
   given a particular customer environment, there may be a 
   difference in the way a desktop reports an intrusion as compared 
   to a mini-tower.
