Chapter 5. Security features

To help prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to your computer, several

security lock options are available. In addition to a physical lock, unauthorized use

of your computer can be prevented by a software lock that locks the keyboard

until a correct password is typed in.

Make sure that any security cables that you install do not interfere with other

computer cables.

Integrated cable lock

An integrated cable lock (sometimes referred to as the Kensington lock), can be

used to secure your computer to a desk, a table, or other non-permanent fixture.

The cable lock attaches to a security 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 a security cable directly from Lenovo by searching

Figure 28. Installing cable lock

To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can use the Setup Utility

program to set a password. When you turn on your computer, you are prompted

to type the password to unlock the computer for normal use. Refer to "Using the

Setup Utility" in the ThinkCentre User Guide for your product.
