and then lock the padlock.
On the back of the computer are a security cable slot and padlock ring (see
Figure 3
in "Setup and
Operation") for attaching commercially available antitheft devices. (The padlock ring is recessed inside the
cover.) Security cables for personal computers usually include a segment of galvanized cable with an
attached locking device and key. To prevent unauthorized removal of your computer, loop the cable around
an immovable object, insert the locking device into the security cable slot on the back of your computer, and
lock the device with the key provided. Complete instructions for installing this kind of antitheft device are
usually included with the device.
NOTES: Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before purchasing such a device, make sure it will
work with the cable slot on your computer.
Installing a security cable with a locking device in the security cable slot also prevents unauthorized
access to the inside of the computer.
