Locking the computer cover helps prevent unauthorized access to the inside of your computer. Your computer features a padlock loop so that the computer cover cannot be removed when a padlock is installed.
You can use a Kensington-style cable lock to secure your computer to a desk, table, or other nonpermanent fixture. The cable lock connects 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: http://www.lenovo.com/support.
A smart cable clip can be used to secure devices, such as the keyboard and the mouse, by locking the device cables to the computer. The smart cable clip connects to the cable-lock slots on the rear of the computer.
To install a smart cable clip, do the following:
Insert the clip 1 into the smart cable clip slot 4.
Pull the cables you want to lock through the dents in the smart cable clip.
Press the clip 2 into the cable-lock slot 3 until it snaps into position.
