Physically Securing the Computer: Dell Latitude CP and CPi
To prevent unauthorized removal of the
computer, you can use a security cable to attach the computer to
an immovable object. The same mechanism can be used to lock your
hard-disk drive to the computer.
The security
cable slot lets you attach a
commercially available antitheft device to the computer and
hard-disk drive. Antitheft devices for portable computers usually
include a segment of metal-stranded cable with an attached
locking device and associated key. Complete instructions for
installing this kind of antitheft device are usually included
with the device. To prevent unauthorized removal of the hard-disk
drive, insert the locking device into the security cable slot on
the hard-disk drive panel, and lock the device with its
associated key. To prevent unauthorized removal of your computer,
loop the cable around an immovable object, insert the locking
device into the security cable slot, and lock the device.

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