Installing the Cable Lock Provision
The cable lock provision consists of a three-piece security
bracket. The bottom part of the bracket is attached to the
computer with a screw; the top part of the bracket covers the
screw and prevents its removal.
✎
The security bracket can be used with a padlock to inhibit
access to the interior of the computer, which prevents
unwanted configuration changes or component removal.
For increased security, a cable lock can be installed to
secure the computer to a fixed object.
To install the security bracket, complete the following steps:
✎
Before installing the security bracket on a desktop
computer, remove the thumbscrew or plastic pin from the
screw hole in the center back of the computer.
1. Separate the pieces of the security bracket by bending the
metal where the three pieces join.
2. Slide the tab on the narrow bracket into the notch on the
back of the computer (center of desktop or upper-right
corner of minitower), then slide the u-shaped bracket
between the narrow bracket and the computer.
3. Position the bracket over the screw hole and secure the
bracket with the screw provided.
4. Cover the screw with the flat portion of the security
bracket.
5. Install a padlock (not provided) to secure the top part of the
security bracket and inhibit access to the inside of the
computer. Install a cable lock (not provided) to inhibit
access to the interior of the computer and secure the
computer to a fixed object.
