Securing the Server
To deter theft of your computer and its components, you can attach a locking cable to your
computer. The back panel has a built-in port for a locking cable, and the computer cover has
a lockable latch that prevents the computer from being opened.
Follow the instructions supplied with the locking cable to secure it to your computer. When
you install the locking cable, feed the cable through the lockable latch on the cover to
prevent memory, disk drives, and expansion cards from being removed.
Security cables that connect to the built-in security lock port are available from other
manufacturers. See your Apple-authorized dealer for more information.
