Using the Power Switch

If the system does not turn off when the power switch is pressed, the system may be hung. Press and hold the power switch until the system turns off completely (this may take several seconds). Alternatively, press the reset button to turn the system off when it is hung.

Security Cable Slot and Padlock Ring

On the back of the computer are a security cable slot and padlock ring (see Figure 1-2) for attaching commercially available antitheft devices. Security cables for personal computers usually include a segment of galvanized cable with an attached locking device and key. To prevent unauthorized removal of your computer, loop the cable around an immovable object, insert the locking device into the security cable slot on the back of your computer, and lock the device with the key provided. Complete instructions for installing this kind of antitheft device are usually included with the device.

NOTE: Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before purchasing such a device, make sure it will work with the cable slot on your computer.
