Padlock Ring and Security Cable Slot

Use one of the following methods to secure your computer:
• Use a padlock alone or a padlock and looped security cable with the padlock ring.
A padlock alone prevents the computer from being opened.
A security cable looped around a stationary object is used in conjunction with a padlock to
prevent unauthorized movement of the computer.
• Attach a commercially available antitheft device to the security cable slot on the back of the
computer.
NOTE:
Before you purchase an antitheft device, make sure that it works with the security cable slot on
your computer.
Antitheft devices usually include a segment of metal-stranded cable with an attached locking
device and key. The documentation that comes with the device contains instructions for
installing it.
