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.
Password protection
To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can use the 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.
What to do next:
v To work with another option, go to the appropriate section.
v To complete the installation, go to “Closing the cover and connecting the
cables” on page 35.
Changing the battery
Your computer has a special type of memory that maintains the date, time, and
settings for built-in features, such as parallel-port assignments (configuration). A
battery keeps this information active when you turn off the computer.
The battery normally requires no charging or maintenance throughout its life;
however, no battery lasts forever. If the battery fails, the date, time, and
configuration information (including passwords) are lost. An error message is
displayed when you turn on the computer.
