Installing a security rope clip
To help prevent theft, you can add a security rope clip and cable to your server.
Complete the following steps to install a rope clip:
1. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 41).
2. Use a screwdriver to remove the two metal knockouts.
3. Insert the rope clip through the rear panel; then, attach and tighten the nuts.
4. Thread a cable through the rope clip and around an object that is not part of or
permanently secured to the building structure or foundation and from which the
cable cannot be removed. Fasten the cable ends together with a lock. After you
add the security cable, be certain it does not interfere with other cables
connected to the server.
