Server locks

Locking the server cover prevents unauthorized access to the inside of the server. Locking the front bezel prevents unauthorized access to the installed drives.

Kensington lock​

ThinkEdge SE350 V2 is designed to be used with various mounting options, including desktop mount, DIN-rail mount, wall mount, and rack mount. Depending on the mounting option, the node can stand alone in desktop mount or be installed in an enclosure or a node sleeve.

  • For a node installed in an enclosure, there is no external lock for the server.

  • For a node installed in a node sleeve or in desktop mount, the ThinkEdge SE350 V2 Anti-Tampering Keylock Kit—including a Kensington lock on the outside and an internal lock mechanism with electronic switch on the inside—can be used to secure the top cover to the node as well as the node to the node sleeve.

Security bezel of the node sleeve​

For a node installed in a node sleeve, the security bezel in the front of the node sleeve can be locked to prevent unauthorized access to the front of node.

When the security bezel is installed, the front operator panel and the USB Type-C connectors are not accessible. Before installing the security bezel, connect all the external cables and power on the server.

For the removal and installation of a security bezel from and to a node sleeve, see Configuration guide.
