Apple G3 manual Securing the Server, What’s Next, Security lock port

Securing the Server

To deter theft of your computer and its components, you can attach a locking cable to your computer. The back panel has a built-in port for a locking cable, and the computer cover has a lockable latch that prevents the computer from being opened.

When the lockable cover latch is pulled out, the computer’s side panel cannot be opened.

You can pass a security cable or padlock through this opening in the cover latch to keep it in its locked position.

Security lock port

Your computer products retailer has security lock devices that fit this port and can secure your computer to your workspace.

Follow the instructions supplied with the locking cable to secure it to your computer. When you install the locking cable, feed the cable through the lockable latch on the cover to prevent memory, disk drives, and expansion cards from being removed.

Security cables that connect to the built-in security lock port are available from other manufacturers. See your Apple-authorized dealer for more information.
