ecurity Cable Slot and Padlock
Ring
On the back of the computer are a security cable slot and
padlock ring (see Figure 1-3) for attaching commercially
available antitheft devices. Security cables for personal
computers usually include a segment of galvanized cable
with an attached locking device and key. To prevent
unauthorized removal of your computer, loop the cable
around an immovable object, insert the locking device
into the security cable slot on the back of your computer,
and lock the device with the key provided. Complete
instructions for installing this kind of antitheft device are
usually included with the device.
NOTE: Antitheft devices are of differing designs. Before
purchasing such a device, make sure it will work with the
cable slot on your computer.
The padlock ring allows you to secure the computer
cover to the chassis to prevent unauthorized access to the
inside of the computer. To use the padlock ring, insert a
commercially available padlock through the ring and
then lock the padlock.

nergy Star Compliance
Certain configurations of Dell computer systems comply
with the requirements set forth by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) for energy-efficient computers.
If the front panel of your computer bears the Energy Star
Emblem (see Figure 1-4), your original configuration
complied with these requirements and all Energy Star
power management features of the computer are enabled.
To disable or change the operation of these features, you
must change the setting for the Power Management
category in the System Setup program. For instructions,
see Chapter 2, "Using the System Setup Program."
NOTES: As an Energy Star Partner, Dell Computer
Corporation has determined that this product meets the
Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.
Any Dell computer bearing the Energy Star Emblem is
certified to comply with EPA Energy Star requirements as
configured when shipped by Dell. Any changes you
make to this configuration (such as installing additional
expansion cards or drives) may increase the system's
power consumption beyond the limits set by the EPA's
Energy Star Computers program.
Figure 1-4. Energy Star Emblem
The EPA's Energy Star Computers program is a joint
effort between the EPA and computer manufacturers to
reduce air pollution by promoting energy-efficient
computer products. The EPA estimates that use of Energy
Star computer products can save computer users up to
two billion dollars annually in electricity costs. In turn,
this reduction in electricity usage can reduce emissions of
carbon dioxide, the gas primarily responsible for the
greenhouse effect, and sulfur dioxide and nitrogen
oxides, which are the two primary causes of acid rain.
