. .
. .
System administrator uses the Remote Management Setup software on a centralized
. .
. .
management console to define the security parameters.
. .
. .
System administrator uses a PC LAN management product to distribute the settings over the
. .
. .
network to remote Compaq Workstation personal workstations.

For more information on enabling Remote Security Management, refer to the online Remote

. .
stages:
. .
. .
System administrator uses the Compaq Remote Management Setup software on a centralized
. .
management console to prepare a Compaq Professional Workstation 5100 ROMPaq file.
. .
. .
. .
System administrator uses a PC LAN management product, such as Microsoft SMS, or Intel
. .
LANDesk Manager to distribute and execute the file to remote Compaq Professional
. .
. .
Workstation 5100 system(s) over the network.
. .
. .
Compaq designed the Remote ROM Flash capability to be secure and fail-safe. All ROMPaq
. .
ROM images from Compaq are digitally signed to ensure authenticity. Also, the ROM Flash
. .
. .
matches the ROM version against the machine type before flashing to ensure that the correct
. .
ROM is flashed on the proper machine. The ROM firmware includes a Boot Block that is
. .
. .
protected during the flash process and allows the Compaq Professional Workstation 5100 to be
. .
restarted, in the unlikely event of an unsuccessful ROM flash.
