Attaching a security lock (not supplied)

You can attach a security lock to your computer to help prevent it from 
being removed without your permission. For details on installing the 
security lock, please refer to the instructions shipped with the security lock 
that you have purchased.

Refer to the “Right-side view” on page 6 for the location of the Kensington 
slot.

Notes:

Before purchasing any security product, verify that it is compatible with this 
type of security keyhole.

You are responsible for evaluating, selecting, and implementing the locking 
devices and security features. Lenovo offers no comment, judgement, or 
warranty regarding the function, quality or performance of locking devices and 
security features.
