Securing your computer

Your computer features hardware and software security solutions, in 
the form of a slot for a Kensington lock and a password facility.

Security slot

A slot for a Kensington slot enables you to physically protect your 
computer from theft. Use this feature as follows:

Wrap a security lock cable around a heavy or immoveable object, 
such as a drawer handle on a file cabinet, or a table leg.

Insert the lock into the slot on the computer, turn it 90°, and then 
lock it in place.
