I'm sure the BIOS will be interlocked with the card. Remove the card, BIOS won't boot.
Unless you have either:

a.) Worked for Ericson
or
b.) Done this yourself

You are doing nothing more then guessing/hoping that this is actually the case.
If it's not the case, the security is meaningless.

And if it is the case you can replace the motherboard. Granted if you are after corporate information you would probably only want the hard drive anyways.

of course security is meaningless. You have physical access to the device! Not to mention if they disable it when contract changes/you refuse the change, they'll have a huge legal issue on their hands.
