Rope Clip installation
To help prevent hardware theft, you can add a 3/16 inch or 5 mm Rope Clip and cable to your computer. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not interfere with other cables that are connected to the computer.

Rope Clip installation:

1. Remove cover. For more information click Cover removal.
2. Use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to remove the two metal knockouts.
3. Insert the Rope Clip through the rear panel; then attach and tighten the nuts with an appropriately sized or adjustable wrench.
4. Replace the computer cover. For more information click Cover installation and connecting the cables.
5. 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.
