Your computer is a valuable investment that you need to take care of.  

Learn how to protect and take care of your computer.

Using a computer security lock

A security keylock notch located on the rear panel of the computer lets 

you connect a Kensington compatible computer security lock.

Wrap a computer security lock cable around an immovable object such 

as a table or locked drawer handle. Insert the lock into the notch and 

turn the key to secure the lock. Some keyless locks are also available.

Passwords protect your computer from unauthorized access. Setting 

these passwords creates several different levels of protection for your 

computer and data:

Supervisor Password prevents unauthorized entry into the BIOS 

Utility. Once set, you must key in this password to gain access to 

the BIOS Utility. See  BIOS Utility  on page 45 for more details.

User Password secures your computer against unauthorized use.
