16. A method comprising:
-
inserting a portion of a fitting member of an input/output (I/O) interface blocking device into a space of an I/O interface receptacle until a first sidewall of a protruding portion of the fitting member causes an expansion of a shell of the I/O interface receptacle; and continuing to insert the fitting member into the space of the I/O interface receptacle until a portion of the protruding portion inserted into an opening of the shell and until the shell restores shape from expansion, wherein a second sidewall of the protruding portion blocks the fitting member from being pulled out of the I/O interface receptacle. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
