Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes at least one processor and storage accessible to the at least one processor. The storage includes instructions executable by the at least one processor to execute a basic input/output system (BIOS) to apply voltage to muscle wire within the device (and/or apply heat to memory wire within the device). The wire locks a component of the device in place without voltage (or heat) being applied to the wire so that, responsive to the BIOS influencing the wire, the wire unlocks the component for removal from the device.
