LegacySelect technology control offers legacy-full, legacy-reduced, or legacy-free solutions based on common platforms, hard-drive images, and help desk

procedures. Control is provided to the administrator through system setup, Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, or Dell™ custom factory integration.

LegacySelect allows administrators to electronically activate or deactivate connectors and media devices that include serial and USB connectors, a parallel

connector, a floppy drive, PCI slots, and a PS/2 mouse. Connectors and media devices that are deactivated make resources available. You must restart the

computer to effect the changes.

Manageability

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 state or the system is powered down. ASF is designed to

supersede previous operating system-absent alerting technologies.

Your computer supports the following ASF alerts:

Alert

BIOS: Corrupt BIOS/Corrupt BIOS Cleared

Boot: No Boot Device

Boot: Failure to Boot to BIOS

Password: System Password Violation

Chassis: Chassis Intrusion

CPU: CPU DOA Alert/CPU DOA Alert Cleared

Heartbeats: Entity Presence

Temperature: Generic Critical Temperature Problem/Generic Critical

Temperature Problem Cleared

Cooling Device: Generic Critical Fan Failure/Generic Critical Fan

Failure Cleared

Connectivity: Ethernet Connectivity Enabled/

Ethernet Connectivity Disabled

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.

Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant

IT Assistant configures, manages, and monitors computers and other devices on a corporate network. IT Assistant manages assets, configurations, events

(alerts), and security for computers equipped with industry-standard management software. It supports instrumentation that conforms to SNMP and CIM

industry standards.

Dell OpenManage Client instrumentation, which is based on CIM, is available for your computer. For information on IT Assistant, see the Dell OpenManage IT

Assistant User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
