How to Secure an iMac to a Table

An iMac has an integrated monitor and connects to a keyboard, mouse, printer and scanner wirelessly, so it can work with no wires tethering it to other devices, and only a single power cord connecting it to an electrical outlet --- making it easy to pick up and move. An unattended iMac can be a tempting target for a thief, especially in an area open to the public. You might want to secure your iMac to a table with a cable and lock to discourage theft.

Instructions

1

Place the iMac on a sturdy, immovable table.

2

Wrap the lock's cable around the table's leg.

3

Insert the lock's shackle through the security slot, a round hole located in the middle of the metal support stand on the back of the iMac.

4

Slip the shackle through the loops on the ends of the cable and close the lock, tethering the iMac to the table.
