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. The cable lock attaches to the security-lock slot at the rear of your computer. Depending on the type

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

used to open the computer cover. This is the same type of lock used with many notebook computers. You

can order such a cable lock directly from Lenovo by searching for Kensington at:
