Asset Tracking And Security - HP Xw8200 - Workstation - 1 GB RAM Technical Reference Manual

CAUTION Do not use the power button to turn off the workstation unless the system is not responding;
turning off the power without operating system interaction could cause damage to or loss of data on the
hard drive.
World Wide Web Site
HP engineers rigorously test and debug software developed by HP and third-party suppliers, and
develop operating system specific support software, to ensure performance, compatibility, and reliability
for HP workstations.
When making the transition to new or revised operating systems, it is important to implement the support
software designed for that operating system. If you plan to run a version of Microsoft Windows that is
different from the version included with the workstation, you must install corresponding device drivers
and utilities to ensure that all features are supported and functioning properly.
HP has made the task of locating, accessing, evaluating, and installing the latest support software
easier. You can download the software from http://www.hp.com/support.
The Web site contains the latest device drivers, utilities, and flashable ROM images needed to run the
latest Microsoft Windows operating system on the HP workstation.

Asset Tracking and Security

Asset tracking features incorporated into the workstation provide key asset tracking data that can be
managed using HP Systems Insight Manager, HP Client Manager Software 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 the environment and to
leverage the investment in existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information.
ProtectTools Embedded Security, if installed, prevents unauthorized access to data and checks system
integrity and authenticates third-party users attempting system access. Security features such as
ProtectTools and the Hood Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) help to prevent unauthorized access to the
internal components of the workstation. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling
removable media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets. Memory Change and Hood
Sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) alerts can be automatically forwarded to system management applications
to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a workstation's internal components.
