Anti-theft protection and lead-sealing
There are three ways to protect your PC from theft:
●
with the Kensington Lock device (1) and with a Kensington MicroSaver
●
with a chain (lead-seal)
●
with a (pad)lock
To prevent unauthorised persons from opening the casing, the casing can be sealed. To do this,
feed the sealing chain through the eye (2) and seal the chain with the lead seal.
You can also attach a padlock to the eye (2) to prevent unauthorised opening of the casing. You can
also use this eye to anchor the casing if necessary.
