To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a 3/16 inch or 5 mm Rope Clip and cable
to your computer. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not
interfere with other cables that are connected to the computer.
To install a Rope Clip:
1.
Remove the cover (see "Removing the cover - small desktop model" on page 26).
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 - small desktop model".
5.
Thread the cable through the Rope Clip and around an object that is not a part of
or permanently secured to the building structure or foundation, and from which
it cannot be removed; then fasten the cable ends together with a lock.
What to do next:
To work with another option, go to the appropriate section.
After working with options, you need to install any removed parts, replace the cover,
and reconnect cables, including power cords and telephone lines. Also, depending on
the option that is installed, you might need to confirm the updated information in the
Configuration/Setup Utility program.
