About the Device Security Screw

NOTE:
You do not need to install the device security screw unless you want to prevent the module from being
easily removed.
Your Dell™ computer ships with an optical drive installed in the module bay and a device security screw,
which may not be installed in the optical drive but packaged separately. When you install a module in
the bay, you can install the device security screw to prevent the module from being easily removed.
