Abstract
An initialization geo-locking system includes a chassis housing a location determination subsystem and an initialization management subsystem. During an initialization process that begins in response to receiving initialization power, the initialization management system determines that geo-locking is activated and, in response, causes power to be provided to the location determination subsystem and then subsequently identifies a first current location determined by the location determination subsystem. The initialization management subsystem then determines whether the first current location determined by the location determination subsystem corresponds to an authorized initialization location stored in the initialization management subsystem and, if so, halts the initialization process while, if not, allows the initialization process to complete.
