IBM 8185 - ThinkCentre M50 - 256 MB RAM User Manual

Rope clip
Using a 3/16-inch or 5-mm rope clip (sometimes referred to as a U-bolt), a steel
security cable, and a padlock can secure your computer to a desk, table, or other
non-permanent fixture. For computers designed to accommodate the rope clip,
knockouts at the rear of the chassis are provided.
To install a rope clip:
1. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 9).
2. Use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to remove the two metal knockouts.
3. Press both sides of the air baffle and lift it outward from the computer to
remove.
4. Insert the rope clip through the rear panel; then attach and tighten the nuts
with an appropriately sized or adjustable wrench.
5. Replace the computer cover. For more information, see “Replacing the cover
and connecting the cables” on page 21.
6. 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.
