Chapter 4. Security

This chapter provides information about how to protect your computer from theft and unauthorized use.

You can use a Kensington-style cable lock to secure your computer to a desk, table, or other non-permanent

fixture. Connect the lock to the security-lock slot at the rear of your computer. Depending on the type

selected, the lock can be operated with a key or combination. The lock also locks the buttons used to open

the computer cover. This is the same type of lock used on many notebook computers. You can order such a

lock directly from Lenovo by searching for Kensington at:
