ABSTRACT:
A device is provided that can be used to lock auxiliary, or peripheral, devices in portable computers. A portable computer using the device may be constructed using a housing, or body, for the portable computer that has a recessed peripheral port in a side wall of the computer body. A peripheral port is then engageable with the port in the side wall of the portable computer. A face plate on the front side of the peripheral port has a greater area than the area of the front side of the peripheral device, forming a rim around the peripheral device that fits flush with the outer surface of the body. A bracket and a locking unit are then used to secure the peripheral device to the portable computer.
