Theft protection and lead sealing
With a chain lock and the hole in the tab (1) or with the Kensington Lock device (2) and with a
Kensington MicroSaver you can protect your unit from theft.
To prevent unauthorized persons from opening the system unit, the casing can be lead-sealed. To
do this, use the eyes on the back of the casing.
