Lenovo X230I manual Security feature, Using the system lock key

Security feature

Use the security keyhole on the ThinkPad port replicator or docking station to attach a mechanical lock. By attaching a mechanical lock, you can secure the port replicator or docking station to a stationary object, such as a desk, to protect your port replicator or docking station from theft. Mechanical locks in different sizes are available from Lenovo as options.

Note: You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing the locking device and security feature. Lenovo makes no comments, judgments, or warranties about the function, quality, or performance of the locking device or security feature.

For the ThinkPad docking stations, in addition to attaching a mechanical lock to the docking station, you also can use the system lock key to lock the eject button. When the eject button is locked, the computer cannot be detached from the docking station. For more information, see “Using the system lock key” on page 104.

Using the system lock key

The system lock key has two positions, unlocked and locked.

When the key is in the locked position, the eject button of the docking station is locked, and you cannot remove your computer. The key lock indicator lights when the eject button is locked.
