Attaching an integrated cable lock

An integrated cable lock, sometimes referred to as the Kensington lock, can be used to secure your

computer to a desk, table, or other non-permanent fixture. The cable lock attaches to the integrated cable

lock slot at the rear of your computer and is operated with a key. The cable lock also locks the buttons used

to open the computer cover. This is the same type of lock used with many notebook computers. You can

order an integrated cable lock directly from Lenovo by searching for Kensington at:

You can set a variety of passwords through the Microsoft Windows operating system and through the BIOS

of your computer to help deter unauthorized use of your computer.

You can use the BIOS Setup Utility program to set passwords to prevent unauthorized access to your

computer and data. The following types of passwords are available:

• Power-On Password: When a Power-On Password is set, you are prompted to type a valid password

each time the computer is turned on. The computer cannot be used until the valid password is typed

in. For more information, see "Power-On Password" on page 78.

• Hard Disk Password: Setting a Hard Disk Password prevents unauthorized access to the data on the hard

disk drive. When a Hard Disk Password is set, you are prompted to type a valid password each time you

try to access the hard disk drive. For more information, see "Hard Disk Password" on page 78.
