Installing a Rope Clip - desktop model
To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a 3/16 inch or 5 mm Rope Clip and cable
to your computer. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not
interfere with other cables that are connected to the computer.
To install a Rope Clip:
1. Remove the cover. See “Removing the cover - desktop model” on page 34.
2. Use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to remove the two metal knockouts.
3. Insert the Rope Clip through the rear panel; then attach and tighten the nuts with
an appropriately sized or adjustable wrench.
4. Replace the computer cover. For more information, see “Replacing the cover and
connecting the cables - desktop model” on page 44.
5. Thread the cable through the Rope Clip and around an object that is not a part of
or permanently secured to the building structure or foundation, and from which
it cannot be removed; then fasten the cable ends together with a lock.
