Rope clip
Using a 3/16-inch or 5-mm rope clip (sometimes referred to as a U-bolt), a steel
security cable, and a padlock can secure your computer to a desk, table, or other
non-permanent fixture. For computers designed to accommodate the rope clip,
knockouts at the rear of the chassis are provided.
To install a rope clip:
1. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 54.
2. Use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to remove the two metal knockouts.
3. Insert the rope clip 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
and connecting the cables” on page 67.
