Dell OptiPlex 790/990 SFF Security Accessory
This accessory is a security lock designed for Dell OptiPlex 790 and 990 Small Form Factor desktops. It provides a physical tether point to help deter theft of the chassis in shared or open environments. The part is supplied new and matches the specific locking slot on these models.
Suitable for securing OptiPlex 790 or 990 SFF units
It fits administrators protecting deployed fleets in offices, schools or reception areas where hardware is exposed. Buyers needing a lock for a different chassis size, a laptop, or a non-Dell desktop should look elsewhere because the slot geometry is model-specific.
Compatibility limited to OptiPlex 790 and 990 SFF
The lock mechanism aligns only with the security slot featured on these two Small Form Factor lines. Verify the exact model number on the chassis label before ordering to ensure the accessory engages correctly.

Questions about this item
Does the lock slot on the OptiPlex 790/990 SFF chassis accept a standard Kensington cable?
The OptiPlex 790/990 SFF includes a standard Kensington security slot, so any compatible cable lock will engage without an adapter.
What tool is required to secure the lock bracket to the 790/990 SFF case, and which screw is often missed?
A Phillips #2 screwdriver fastens the bracket to the chassis; the rear-panel screw behind the I/O shield is the one most installers overlook.
If the lock head or cable frays after extended use, can the bracket stay mounted while only the cable is replaced?
Yes, the metal bracket remains fixed to the chassis; a new Kensington cable assembly threads into the same bracket without removing the screws.
