1. A security protection method for a computer module, said method comprising:
- inserting the computer module into a console;
initiating a security program in said module to read a security identification of said console and to read a security identification of said computer module;
determining of a predetermined security status based upon a relationship of said console identification and said computer module identification;
selecting said predetermined security status; and
operating said computer module based upon said security status.

Abstract
A security method for an attached computer module in a computer system. The security method reads a security identification number in an attached computer module and compares it to a security identification number in a console, which houses the attached computer module. Based upon a relationship between these numbers, a security status is selected. The security status determines the security level of operating the computer system.
