Integrated cable lock
With an integrated cable lock (sometimes referred to as a Kensington lock), you
can secure your computer to a desk, table, or other non-permanent fixture. The
cable lock attaches to a security slot at the rear of your computer and is operated
with a key. This is the same type of lock used with many laptop computers. You
can order a cable lock directly from IBM. Go to http://www.pc.ibm.com/support
and search on Kensington.

Password protection
To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can use the IBM Setup Utility
program to set a password. When you turn on your computer you are prompted to
type the password to unlock the keyboard for normal use.

Changing the battery

settings for built-in features, such as parallel-port assignments (configuration). A
battery keeps this information active when you turn off the computer.
