Dell desktops are equipped with a padlock ring on the rear of the chassis to prevent unauthorized entry to the inside of the case. Newer Dell desktop computers are equipped with security slots as well. For example, the features of OptiPlex 9010 can be found in the OptiPlex 9010 Setup and Features Information manual located on the OptiPlex 9010 Online Manual Page.
