CHAPTER 5: Protecting your notebook
58
Hardware security
You probably purchased your notebook so you
can take it with you. Because it’s light-weight
and compact, it’s easy to carry. But these
features also make it easy for someone else to
steal. You may be able to replace your notebook
with a call to your insurance agent, but you
cannot replace the information stored on your
notebook.
Kensington lock slot
The first step in notebook security is preventing
your notebook from being stolen.
Attach a cable lock to the Kensington lock slot on
your notebook, then wrap the cable lock to a
solid object like a desk or table. You can buy a
cable lock at most electronics stores and many
department stores.
For the location of the Kensington lock slot, see
your hardware reference.
