Hybrid RPL, which installs hybrid images (or files) on the hard disk. If your
computer is a Hybrid RPL client, each time the computer starts from the network,
LANClient Control Manager downloads a small bootstrap program to your
computer hard disk drive and avoids the network traffic associated with a
standard RPL.
DHCP is a protocol that lets network administrators centrally manage and
automate the assignment of Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on a network.

Remote Administration

A network administrator can use the Remote Administration feature to remotely
update the POST and BIOS code in your computer.
Network-management software, such as LANClient Control Manager (LCCM), is
required to take advantage of this feature.

LANClient Control Manager

LANClient Control Manager is a graphical, server-based program that aids in
system deployment by allowing mass unattended installations of operating
systems, complete software images, device drivers, and BIOS code updates to
remote systems. Used with Wake on LAN, LCCM can remotely turn on your
computer, which means that installation can be done while the computer is not
being used.

Desktop Management Interface

DMI is a method for gathering information about the hardware and software in
your computer. In a network environment, network administrators can use DMI to
remotely monitor and control your computer.

Using security features

To deter unauthorized use of your computer, you can use anti-intrusion features
and other security features that are provided with your computer.

Anti-intrusion features

IBM anti-intrusion features help protect against the theft of computer components,

A cover lock is built into your computer to prevent the cover from being removed.
Two identical keys for the cover lock are also supplied. A tag attached to the keys
has the key serial number and the address of the key manufacturer.
