Installing a security U-bolt
To help prevent hardware theft, you can use the cover lock loop with a
padlock and add a security U-bolt and cable to your computer. After you
add the security cable, make sure that it does not interfere with other cables
that are connected to the computer.
Before you begin:
Ÿ
Obtain the following:
– A 19-mm (3/4 in.) U-bolt and threaded nuts that fit the U-bolt
– A security cable
– A lock, such as a combination lock or padlock
– An appropriately sized or adjustable wrench
– A small, flat-blade screwdriver
Ÿ
Read “Safety information” on page ix and “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 61.
Ÿ
Turn off the computer and all other connected devices.
Ÿ
Disconnect all external cables and power cords and remove the
computer cover (see “Removing the cover — desktop model” on
page 64 or “Removing the cover — tower model” on page 68).
To install a U-bolt:
1. Use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to remove the two metal knockouts.
2. Insert the U-bolt through the rear panel; then attach and tighten the
nuts with an appropriately sized or adjustable wrench.
3. Replace the computer cover. For more information, see “Replacing the
cover and connecting the cables” on page 94.
4. Thread the cable through the U-bolt and around an object that is not a
part of or permanently secured to the building structure or foundation
