Security

features

To

help

prevent

hardware

theft

and

unauthorized

access

to

your

computer,

several

security

lock

options

are

available.

In

addition

to

a

physical

lock,

unauthorized

use

of

your

computer

can

be

prevented

by

a

software

lock

that

locks

the

keyboard

until

a

correct

password

is

typed

in.

Make

sure

that

any

security

cables

that

you

install

do

not

interfere

with

other

computer

cables.

Integrated

cable

lock

An

integrated

cable

lock

(sometimes

referred

to

as

the

Kensington

lock),

can

be

used

to

secure

your

computer

to

a

desk,

table,

or

other

non-permanent

fixture.

The

cable

lock

attaches

to

a

security

slot

at

the

rear

of

your

computer

and

is

operated

with

a

key.

See

Figure

37.

The

cable

lock

also

locks

the

buttons

used

to

open

the

computer

cover.

This

is

the

same

type

of

lock

used

with

many

laptop

computers.

You

can

order

a

security

cable

directly

from

Lenovo.

Go

to

http://www.lenovo.com/support/

and

search

on

Kensington.

Password

protection

To

deter

unauthorized

use

of

your

computer,

you

can

use

the

Setup

Utility

program

to

set

a

password.

When

you

turn

on

your

computer,

you

are

prompted

to

type

the

password

to

unlock

the

keyboard

for

normal

use.
