Attaching an integrated cable lock
An integrated cable lock, sometimes referred to as the Kensington lock, can be used to secure your
computer to a desk, table, or other non-permanent fixture. The cable lock attaches to the integrated cable
lock slot at the rear of your computer and is operated with a key. 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 an integrated cable lock directly from Lenovo by searching for
Kensington at:

Using passwords
You can set a variety of passwords through the Microsoft Windows operating system and through the BIOS

BIOS passwords
You can use the BIOS Setup Utility program to set passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your
computer and data. The following types of passwords are available:
• Power-On Password: When a Power-On Password is set, you are prompted to type a valid password
each time the computer is turned on. The computer cannot be used until the valid password is typed
in. For more information, see “Power-On Password” on page 68.
