Security Cable Slot and Padlock Ring

On the back of the computer are a security cable slot and padlock ring (see Figure 1-2) for attaching commercially available
antitheft devices. Security cables for personal computers usually include a segment of galvanized cable with an attached locking
device and key. To prevent unauthorized removal of your computer, loop the cable around an immovable object, insert the locking
device into the security cable slot on the back of your computer, and lock the device with the key provided. Complete instructions
for installing this kind of antitheft device are usually included with the device.

NOTE:

Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before purchasing such a device, make sure it will work with the cable

slot on your computer.

The padlock ring allows you to secure the computer cover to the chassis to prevent unauthorized access to the inside of the
computer. To use the padlock ring, insert a commercially available padlock through the ring and then lock the padlock.
