Obtaining device drivers

You can obtain device drivers for operating systems that are not preinstalled at http://www.lenovo.com/support. Installation instructions are provided in readme files with the device-driver files.

Basic security features

There are several security options available to help you prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to your computer. In addition to physical locks, you can also prevent unauthorized use of your computer by a software lock that locks the keyboard until a correct password is typed in.

Integrated cable lock

An integrated cable lock, sometimes referred to as the Kensington lock, can be used to 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 computer cover. See Figure 48 “Installing an integrated cable lock” on page 53. This is the same type of lock used with many notebook computers. You can order an integrated cable lock from Lenovo by searching for Kensington at: http://www.lenovo.com/support

Note: Make sure that the integrated cable lock you installed does not interfere with other computer cables.

Password protection

To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can use the Setup Utility program to set a password. When you turn on your computer, you are prompted to type the password. The computer cannot be used until

a valid password is typed in. Refer to Chapter 4 “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 61 for more information.
