Zusammenfassung:Examples of a computing system having a lock port for a cable-lock unit are described. In an example, a computing system includes a control unit, a receptacle electrically coupled to the control unit, a lock port to receive a cable-lock unit to lock the computing system at a location, a lock engagement member, and a plug coupled to the lock engagement member. The lock engagement member and the plug are to translate and form an electrical connection between the plug and the receptacle in response to receiving the cable-lock unit in the lock port. The control unit is to determine presence of the cable-lock unit in the lock port in response to formation of the electrical connection between the plug and the receptacle.
