Installing security features

To help prevent hardware theft and unauthorized access to your computer, several security lock options are available. In addition to physical locks, 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.
