Using a computer lock

You may want to secure your computer to a heavy object such as
your desk. The easiest way to do this is to purchase an optional
computer lock cable. For more information on purchasing a cable

To secure the computer:
1 Wrap the cable through or around some part of a heavy object.
Make sure there is no way for a potential thief to slip the cable
off the object.
2 Pass the locking end through the loop.
3 Insert the cable's locking end into the security lock slot on your
computer, then engage the locking device.
The computer is now securely locked.
