The center post fits into a specially located and sized corresponding hole that is built into the computer chassis, thereby preventing the computer lock from being improperly removed from the computer chassis. The computer lock also includes a security cable slot or channel for attaching a security cable and a cable trap protecting peripheral devices (such as mouse and keyboard) against theft.
