Alert Standard Format

ASF is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" alerting techniques. The standard is designed to
generate an alert on potential security and fault conditions when the operating system is in a sleep mode or the computer is turned off. ASF is designed to
supersede previous operating-system-absent alerting technologies.
Your computer supports the following ASF version 1.03 and 2.0 alerts and remote capabilities:
Alert
Chassis: Chassis Intrusion – Physical Security
Violation/Chassis Intrusion – Physical Security Violation
Event Cleared
CPU: Emergency Shutdown Event
Cooling Device: Generic Critical Fan Failure/Generic Critical
Fan Failure Cleared
Temperature: Generic Critical Temperature Problem/Generic
Critical Temperature Problem Cleared
Battery Low
ASF allows Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP) messages to be exchanged between a remote management console and a client computer that
is in a "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" state. RMCP messages can be sent to instruct a client computer to start up, shut down, or
restart.
For more information about Dell's ASF implementation, see the ASF User's Guide and the ASF Administrator's Guide, which are available on the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com.
