Security features

To help prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to your computer, several security 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 a 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 cover. This is the same type of lock used with many laptop computers. You can order a cable lock directly from IBM. Go to http://www.pc.ibm.com/support and search on Kensington.

Password protection

To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can use the IBM 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.
