ABSTRACT:
A main memory and a hard disk include predetermined serial numbers. A flash memory registers the main memory and hard disk together with their serial numbers. A BIOS reads the serial numbers from the main memory and hard disk. When a read-out serial number is not registered in the flash memory, the BIOS places the information processing apparatus in an unusable state.
