Asset Tracking and Security

✎
Desktop Management Guide
Asset tracking features incorporated into the computer provide key
asset tracking data that can be managed using HP Insight Manager,
HP Client Manager or other system management applications.
Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking features and
these products enables you to choose the management tool that is
best suited to your environment and to leverage your investment in
existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable
components and information. Security features such as the Smart
Cover Sensor and the Smart Cover Lock, available on select models,
help to prevent unauthorized access to the internal components of the
personal computer. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by
disabling removable media boot capability, you can protect valuable
data assets. Memory Change and Smart Cover Sensor alerts can be
automatically forwarded to system management applications to
deliver proactive notification of tampering with a computer's internal
components.
The Smart Cover Sensor and the Smart Cover Lock are available as
options on select systems.
Use the following utilities to manage security settings on your HP
computer:
■
Locally, using the Computer Setup Utilities. See the Computer
Setup (F10) Utility Guide included with the computer for
additional information and instructions on using the Computer
Setup Utilities.
■
Remotely, using HP Client Manager or System Software
Manager. This software enables the secure, consistent
deployment and control of security settings from a simple
command-line utility.
