DIMM fan baffle Installing a security rope clip To help prevent hardware theft, you can thread a security rope clip and cable to the computer. After you add the security cable, make sure that it does not interfere with other cables that are connected to the computer. Before you begin, obtain the following items: v A flat-blade screwdriver v An adjustable wrench v A 19-mm (0.75-in.) rope clip or wire rope (similar to National Manufacturing number 3230, stock number 176-735) v Threaded nuts that fit the rope clip v A security cable v A lock, such as a combination lock or padlock To install a security cable, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 29. 2. Turn off the computer and all attached devices. 3. Disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover. See "Removing the side cover" on page 35. 4. Use a screwdriver to remove the two metal knockouts. 5. Insert the rope clip through the rear panel; then, attach and tighten the nuts. 6. Thread the cable through the rope loop and around an object that is not part of the computer, and is not permanently secured to the building structure or foundation. Make sure that the cable cannot be removed from the object. 7. Fasten the cable ends together with a lock. After you add the security cable, make sure that the cable does not interfere with other cables that are connected to the computer. 56 IBM IntelliStation Z Pro Type 9228: User's Guide
