THEFT DETERRENCE FEATURES
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this white paper is to define the level of theft deterrence offered to the
user of Compaq’s commercial notebook docking solutions. It is important to note that the
primary purpose of the docking stations is to provide cable management, expandability,
and battery charging. The docking stations are not designed to act as a security device
for the notebook. However, to meet customer needs, Compaq designed additional theft
deterrent features into the docking stations. For those users requiring a complete package
for notebook security, details on Compaq’s solutions are available at
http://www.compaq.com/products/notebooks/security.shtml.
