The dock contains a tethered I/O Pin Cover to protect the I/O pins on the dock when a Thor VM2 is not mounted in the dock.
• When the Thor VM2 is not installed in the dock, use the I/O Pin Cover to protect the pins on the dock as shown.
• When a Thor VM2 is installed in the dock, the I/O Pin Cover can be placed out of the way behind the dock.
PadlockIt may be desirable to secure the Thor VM2 in the dock so it cannot be removed from the dock. The quick release handle on the Thor VM2 is notched to allow a user supplied standard padlock to be placed through a hole in the bracket on the back of the Thor VM2 in the location shown below. Once the padlock is installed, the release handle cannot be moved so the Thor VM2 cannot be removed from the dock. The padlock shackle must be smaller than 3/16” (4.76mm).
A cable tie wrap can be used instead of a padlock if desired.
Laptop Security CableThe Thor VM2 can be secured with a standard laptop security cable using the slot on the back of the Thor VM2.
