Installing a security U-bolt
To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a security U-bolt and cable to your
computer. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not interfere
with other cables that are connected to the computer.
To install a U-bolt:
1. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 19).
2. Use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to remove the two metal knockouts.
3. Insert the U-bolt through the rear panel; then attach and tighten the nuts with
an appropriately sized or adjustable wrench.
4. Replace the computer cover. For more information, see “Replacing the cover”
on page 28.
5. Thread the cable through the U-bolt and around an object that is not 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.
