Aurora R11, Security cable slot

I bought a Kensington N17 combination locking cable for my Aurora R11 R11. It will simply slide in and out of the slot. I am looking for the proper lock for this computer.

    If you are asking where to attach the lock, that would be #11

    Lock attaches at Number 11Lock attaches at Number 11

    If you are asking what Kensington lock will work--

    As the Kensington N17 is listed for use with laptops, you may need to order--

    Kensington Desktop and Peripherals Locking Kit

    Manufacturer Part K64615US | Dell Part A3609721 | Order Code A3609721

    After a second look, the N17 uses a standard 5mm keying system; so it should work in your R11.

    Not sure why it would not?

    A little more digging shows 3 different engagement types--Wedge, Kensington T-Bar and Non-Standard Security Slot Anchor.  It appears that Dell uses the Wedge...but who knows, it's Dell, they may use the T-Bar on the desktops.

    At this point I don't want to do any more digging.

    Did the A3609721 Locking Kit work?  I was sold both an N17 and Click-safe Wedge type lock by Dell and neither work on Desktops.  They work on Laptops.
