Security Features

The docking device has the following security features:

An eject/locking lever that allows you to secure and eject your
computer. The back position secures the computer to the C/Port II
APR. The middle position allows you to use the docking device
without securing it. The front position ejects the computer from the
docking device. Push the eject/locking lever to the back position to use
the padlock security lock and the security lock slot.

A spring-loaded latch on the front of the base that fits into a security
slot on the bottom of the computer secures the computer to the
docking control base. Not all Dell computers have the security slot.

A secured media-bay eject button that blocks removal of media bay
devices.

An immobilized catch latch to deter unauthorized computer removal.

Securing the C/Port II APR

Use one of the following methods to secure the docking device:

Use a padlock alone or a padlock and looped security cable with the
padlock slot (see “Docking Control Base Controls and Indicators”) on
the docking device.

A padlock alone blocks the eject lever and makes it difficult to detach
the computer from the docking device.

A security cable looped around a stationary object and used in
conjunction with the padlock can help prevent the unauthorized
movement of the computer and the C/Port II APR.
