Attaching a Kensington-style cable lock
You can use a Kensington-style cable lock to secure your computer to a desk, table, or other non-permanent
fixture. The cable lock attaches to the security-lock slot at the rear of your computer and is operated with a
key or combination depending on the type selected. The cable lock also locks the buttons used to open the
computer cover. This is the same type of lock used with many notebook computers. You can order such a
cable lock directly from Lenovo by searching for
Kensington at:
