Chapter 5. Security features
To help prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to your computer, several
security lock options are available. In addition to a physical lock, 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.
Integrated cable lock
With an integrated cable lock (sometimes referred to as the 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. The cable lock also locks the buttons used to open the computer cover.
This is the same type of lock used with many laptop computers. You can order a
security cable directly from Lenovo. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/support/ and
search on Kensington.
