such as processor and memory. For additional security, the
cable lock provision can be used with a cable and padlock to

installed.

Use a flat-bladed screwdriver if needed.
2. Separate the pieces of the security bracket by bending the
metal where the three pieces join.
3. Insert the tang of the narrow bracket into the slot and slide
the u-shaped bracket between it and the system unit cover;
then, install the self-tapping screw included in the cable
lock kit.
4. Cover the screw with the flat portion of the bracket.
5. Install a lock (not provided) to secure the top part of the
security bracket to control access to the inside of the
computer. Install a cable lock (not provided) to secure the
computer to a fixed object.
