Installing security features
To help prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to your computer, several
security lock options are available. The following sections will help you identify
and install the various types of locks that might be available for your computer. In
addition to physical locks, unauthorized use of your computer can be prevented by
a software lock that locks the keyboard until a correct password is typed in.
Make sure that any security cables you install do not interfere with other computer
cables.
