Physically Securing The Computer; Getting Help - Dell 4100 User Manual

P
hysically Securing the
Computer
The security cable slot lets you attach a commercially
available antitheft device to the computer. Antitheft
devices for personal computers usually include a segment
of metal-stranded cable with an attached locking device
and associated key. To prevent unauthorized removal of
your computer, loop the cable around an immovable
object, insert the locking device into the security cable
slot on the back of the computer, and lock the device with
its associated key. (See Figure 7-5 in the Installation and
Troubleshooting Guide for the location of the security
cable slot). Complete instructions for installing this kind
of antitheft device are usually included with the device.
NOTE: Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before
purchasing such a device, make sure it will work with the
security cable slot on your computer.
