Security Cable Lock

Use one of the following methods to secure your computer:

• Use a padlock alone or a padlock and looped security cable with the

padlock ring.
A padlock alone prevents the computer from being opened.
A security cable looped around a stationary object is used in conjunction

with a padlock to prevent unauthorized movement of the computer.

• Attach a commercially available antitheft device to the security cable slot

on the back of the computer.

NOTE:

Before you purchase an antitheft device, make sure that it works with the

security cable slot on your computer.

Antitheft devices usually include a segment of metal-stranded cable with

an attached locking device and key. The documentation that comes with

the device contains instructions for installing it.
