Installing a cable lock

To help to protect against theft, you can install an optional cable lock to secure your computer to a desk, table, or other fixture. This type of cable lock also automatically locks the computer cover to the chassis. The cable-lock latch on your computer accommodates the same type of cable lock used with many laptop computers. You can order cable locks directly from IBM. For more information, see Finding options from IBM in Access IBM.

See the following illustration for cable lock installation.

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.
