If your computer uses the Alert on LAN feature, and you are connected to a
network that uses Intel LANDesk
Manager, a message is also sent to the network administrator console
notifying that the computer cover has been removed. For more
information, see "Alert on LAN" on page 27 and contact your network
administrator.
Component protection
Your computer has serialized components that can be registered with a
third-party security company. (You can also register the entire system.) By
registering computer components, you can improve the chances of
identifying the components if they are ever stolen and recovered. For more
information about component registration, see the IBM support page at
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/desktop/assetid on the World Wide Web.
Asset ID capability
IBM provides the basis for Asset ID
provides the capability to access information about your computer that is
stored in an EEPROM module on the system board, using a
radio-frequency-enabled portable scanner.
The Asset ID EEPROM contains prerecorded information about the system,
including its configuration and the serial numbers of key components. The
Asset ID EEPROM also includes a number of blank fields you can record
with your choice of information. The Asset ID can be scanned from a short
distance. The scanning of the Asset ID does not require the computer cover
to be removed or even require that the computer be removed from the box
in which it is shipped. This type of wireless tracking enables quicker
system deployment and improved asset control. Also, Asset ID information
is available through UM Services.
For the latest information on personal computer security features, visit the
IBM support page at http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/desktop/assetid on the
World Wide Web.
For information about enabling Asset ID, see Chapter 4, "Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 37.
Asset ID enables your personal computer to be scanned by various radio
3
frequency-emitting devices supplied by independent companies. Asset ID is intended
for use only with radio frequency equipment that meets ANSI/IEEE C95.1 1991 RF
Radiation Limits.
