Caring for your computer
Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make
sure all drive activity has ended (the internal storage drive
and optical disc drive indicator lights stop glowing) and all
external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by
the back. Doing so could damage the system.
Using a computer lock
You may want to secure your computer to a heavy object
such as your desk. The easiest way to do this is to purchase
an optional computer lock cable. For more information on
purchasing a cable lock, visit

To secure the computer:
1
Wrap the cable through or around a heavy object.
Make sure there is no way for a potential thief to slip the
cable off the object.
2
Pass the locking end through the loop.
3
Insert the cable’s locking end into the security lock slot
on your computer, then engage the locking device.
The computer is now securely locked.
