Physical Security

The cable lock provision can be used with a padlock to help
prevent theft or unauthorized access to internal components
such as processor and memory. For additional security, the
cable lock provision can be used with a cable and padlock to
secure the computer to a fixed object.

Installing the Cable Lock Provision

To install the cable lock provision, complete the following
steps:

Your computer may already have the cable lock provision
installed.

1. Remove one thumbscrew from the rear of the computer.

Use a flat-bladed screwdriver if needed.

2. Separate the pieces of the security bracket by bending the

metal where the three pieces join.

3. Insert the tang of the narrow bracket into the slot and slide

the u-shaped bracket between it and the system unit cover;
then, install the self-tapping screw included in the cable
lock kit.

4. Cover the screw with the flat portion of the bracket.

5. Install a lock (not provided) to secure the top part of the

security bracket to control access to the inside of the
computer. Install a cable lock (not provided) to secure the
computer to a fixed object.
