Claim:
1. A security device for a universal emergency power-off (UEPO) switch of a computer system enclosure having a door that can be locked and unlocked and provide access to computer equipment within the computer system enclosure, the door having an access opening therein, the access opening provides access to both the universal emergency power-off switch and system identification information when the door is in a closed position, the security device comprising: A) a plate body having a first portion and a second portion opposite the first portion, i) the first portion having a length and width sufficient to allow it to be rigidly constrained on an interior side of the door adjacent the opening, ii) the second portion having a) a length and a width defining a surface, the surface including multiple openings therethrough, dimensioned to allow for ventilation through the multiple openings while substantially filling the access opening and impeding access to the UEPO switch, b) a port through which the system identification information can be viewed when the door is in a closed position and the first portion is rigidly constrained on the interior side of the door adjacent the opening, and c) a hand grip near an end of the second portion opposite the first portion, the hand grip including surface texturing sufficient to capture and retain epithelial cells from a person who grips the hand grip during the act of gaining access to the UEPO switch behind the second portion of the security device so that the captured epithelial cells will be available for testing or analysis to assist identifying the person who accessed the UEPO switch; iii) wherein the width of part of the second portion is less than a corresponding width of the access opening; and iv) the plate body having a deformation region, of a thickness and material, wherein, when the first portion is rigidly constrained on the interior side of the door adjacent the access opening, application of a force of less than about 45 Newtons to the hand grip, directed within a range from 00 to about 450 from a right angle to the surface in a direction of the first portion, will cause plastic deformation of the plate body within the deformation region.
