Installing a security U-bolt

To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a security U-bolt and cable to your
server. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not interfere with
other cables that are connected to the server.

Complete the following steps to install a U-bolt:

1.

Review the safety precautions listed in “Safety information” on page 105.

2.

Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 40
for details).

3.

Use a screwdriver to remove the two metal knockouts.

4.

Insert the U-bolt through the rear panel; then, attach and tighten the nuts.

If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.

Replace the side cover, see “Installing the cover” on page 59.

7.

Thread the cable through the U-bolt and around an object that is a part of or
permanently secured to the building structure or foundation, and from which it
cannot be removed; then, fasten the cable ends together with a lock.
