On the back of the computer are a security cable slot and padlock ring (see

an immovable object, insert the locking device into the security cable slot on the back of your computer, and
lock the device with the key provided. Complete instructions for installing this kind of antitheft device are
usually included with the device.

work with the cable slot on your computer.
Installing a security cable with a locking device in the security cable slot also prevents unauthorized
access to the inside of the computer.
