Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently and effectively protect a computer system which is being shipped by disabling the use at a shipping point through an RFID(radio frequency discrimination) interface and enabling the use at a reception point. SOLUTION: A chassis 19 has a base and a rear panel 17 and has an open bay 22 sectioned so as to receive a data storage device such as a disk drive 23. An antenna 109 is fitted extending to outside the computer 12 so as to gather radiations having predefinition characteristics. The antenna 109 allows supply to the computer system through the RFID interface 59 showing the radiations having the predefinition characteristics nearby the computer system. The computer system is made unusable at the shipping point through this RFID interface 59 and usable at the reception point through the RFID interface 59 to enhance the security in the transportation.
