The object securing element is operable to secure the power adapter base to an object. A power cable extends from the power adapter base. A power connector is located on the power cable and operable to transmit power from the power adapter base. A security connector is located on the power cable and is operable to lock the power cable to an IHS chassis. The object securing element may be used to secure the power adapter to an object and each of the power connector and security connector may be coupled to an IHS chassis to provide power to the IHS chassis and secure the IHS chassis to the object.
