Installing A Security U-Bolt - IBM xSeries 200 Hardware Maintenance Manual

Installing a security U-bolt

To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a security
U-bolt and cable to your server. After you add the security
cable, make sure that it does not interfere with other
cables that are connected to the server.
Complete the following steps to install a U-bolt:
1. Review the safety precautions listed in "Safety
information" on page 125.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and
disconnect all external cables and power cords; then,
remove the cover (see "Removing the side cover" on
page 46 for details).
3. Use a screwdriver to remove the two metal knockouts.
4. Insert the U-bolt through the rear panel; then, attach
and tighten the nuts.
5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so
now.
6. Replace the side cover, see "Installing the cover" on
page 70.
7. Thread the cable through the U-bolt and around an
object that is 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.
