Security Features

The docking device has the following security features:

• An eject/locking lever that allows you to secure and eject your

computer. The back position secures the computer to the C/Port II

APR. The middle position allows you to use the docking device

without securing it. The front position ejects the computer from the

docking device. Push the eject/locking lever to the back position to use

the padlock security lock and the security lock slot.

• A spring-loaded latch on the front of the base that fits into a security

slot on the bottom of the computer secures the computer to the

docking control base. Not all Dell computers have the security slot.

• A secured media-bay eject button that blocks removal of media bay

devices.

• An immobilized catch latch to deter unauthorized computer removal.

Securing the C/Port II APR

Use one of the following methods to secure the docking device:

• Use a padlock alone or a padlock and looped security cable with the

padlock slot (see “Docking Control Base Controls and Indicators”) on

the docking device.

A padlock alone blocks the eject lever and makes it difficult to detach

the computer from the docking device.

A security cable looped around a stationary object and used in

conjunction with the padlock can help prevent the unauthorized

movement of the computer and the C/Port II APR.
