Security Management - Compaq Deskpro 2000 Maintenance & Service Manual

If the monitor detects one of these conditions, the computer will send an alert over the network to the
system administrator.
Proactive Backup
Proactive Backup software initiates a tape or PD-CD backup upon receiving notice of an impending
SMART hard drive failure.
The Seagate Backup Exec SMART Client works with Seagate Backup Exec tape backup software on
the server, or with Seagate Backup Exec software supporting the PD-CD drive. Together with the
Insight Management Agents, this software offers a Proactive Backup solution. For instructions on
configuring the Backup Exec SMART Client, contact your systems administrator or refer to the
Seagate Backup Exec documentation.
Cheyenne has also created an agent to support the Proactive Backup solution. The SMART Drive
Agent is the component that recognizes and reacts to the SMART II hard drive fault alerts. This agent
is an extension to the Microsoft Windows 95 tape backup agent for the standalone application
ARCsolo for Windows. This agent works with the SMART II hard drive to ensure that critical data
will be protected in the event of a hard drive failure.
Surge-Tolerant Power Supply
An integrated, surge-tolerant power supply provides greater reliability when the computer is hit with
an unpredictable power surge. This power supply is rated to withstand a power surge of up to 2,000
volts without incurring any system downtime or data loss.

2.11.3 Security Management

As access to a network increases, so does the risk of unauthorized access to critical information and
theft of valuable components. The Compaq personal computer provides a robust set of security
features to protect the computer and data from unauthorized access.
Physical security features such as the cable lock provision help prevent theft or unauthorized
access to internal components such as processor and memory.
Setup and Power-On Passwords help prevent unauthorized access to information stored on the
computer or the network.
DIMM configuration changes will trigger local and remote alert messages, providing timely
notice of unauthorized additions, changes, or removals. (This feature is supported on all Compaq
DIMMs and others that comply with the DIMM SPD standard.)
The Ownership Tag displays ownership information during system restart. The Ownership Tag
information can be entered or modified in Computer Setup and is protected by the Setup
Password.
Drive and media security features control access to the information stored on the computer and
can prevent unauthorized transfer of data to a diskette drive or other removable storage media
(e.g. LS-120, PD-CD). These features can also prevent startup from the removable media drives.
Device disabling features can prevent unauthorized transfer of data over fax/modems, serial
ports, parallel ports, or infrared ports.
