Entering a setup password
At the Setup password prompt, type your setup password (using the same kind of keys you used to
set the password), and then press enter. After 3 unsuccessful attempts to enter the setup password,
you must restart the computer and try again.
Installing a security cable
NOTE: The security cable (purchased separately) is designed to act as a deterrent, but it may not
prevent the computer from being mishandled or stolen.
1. Loop the security cable around a secured object.
2. Insert the key (1) into the cable lock (2).
3. Insert the cable lock into the security cable slot on the computer (3), and then lock the cable lock
with the key.
NOTE: Your computer may look different from the illustration. The location of the security cable slot
varies by model.
