What Is a Kensington or Noble Security Slot?
Dell devices such as desktops, laptops, docking stations and monitors are equipped with a security slot to secure your property by means of a cable.
The location varies by product, but here is a brief description of where the slot can be found:
| Device | Location |
|---|---|
| Laptop | Left or right side of the chassis |
| Docking Station | Right side of the chassis, next to the Undock button |
| Monitor | Rear of the monitor, normally on the right side as you face the monitor |
What Is a Padlock Ring?
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.
