The Shock Sensor Utility is designed to decrease the risk of damage to
the computer's hard disk drive (HDD) in the event of excessive impact 
or vibration. Additionally, the Shock Sensor Utility has the ability 
to improve the security of the computer by automatically locking the 
computer with a password when it is carried.* Note that the HDD 
protection and computer locking features are mutually exclusive; both 
cannot be selected at the same time.

* The automatic locking function is available only on particular models.
