Installing a security U-bolt
To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a security U-bolt and cable to
your computer. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not
interfere with other cables that are connected to the computer.
To install a U-bolt:
1. Use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to remove the two metal knockouts.
2. Insert the U-bolt through the rear panel; then attach and tighten the nuts
with an appropriately sized or adjustable wrench.
3. Replace the computer cover. For more information, see "Replacing the
cover and connecting the cables".
4. Thread the cable through the U-bolt and around an object that is not a part
of or permanently secured to the building structure or foundation, and
from which it cannot be removed; then fasten the cable ends together with
a lock.
Completing the installation
After working with options, you need to install any removed parts, replace the
cover, and reconnect any cables, including power cords and telephone lines.
Also, depending on the option installed, you might need to confirm the
updated information in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Replacing the cover and connecting the cables
To replace the cover and connect cables to your computer:
1. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no
tools or loose screws are left inside your computer.
2. Clear any cables that might impede the replacement of the cover.
