Remote Administration
A network administrator can use the Remote Administration feature to remotely
update the POST and BIOS code in the 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, computer-based system deployment
program that enables mass unattended installations of operating systems, software
images, device drivers, and BIOS code updates to remote systems. When used
with Wake on LAN, LCCM can remotely turn on the computer, so that the
installation can be done while the computer is not being used.

System Migration Assistant
System Migration Assistant (SMA) enables administrators to remotely transfer
configurations, profile settings, printer device drivers, and files from an IBM or
non-IBM computer to supported IBM systems.

Desktop Management Interface
DMI is a method for gathering information about the hardware and software in the
computer. In a network environment, network administrators can use DMI to
remotely monitor and control the computer.
Using security features
To deter unauthorized use of the computer, anti-intrusion and other security features
are provided with the computer.
Anti-intrusion features
IBM anti-intrusion features help protect against the theft of computer components,
such as the microprocessor, system memory modules, or hard disk drives.
A cover lock is built into the 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.
Note: Locksmiths are not authorized to duplicate the cover lock keys; you must
You can also set a chassis-intrusion detector inside the computer to alert the
system administrator each time the computer cover is removed. For more
information about setting the chassis-intrusion alert, see "Configuration" on page 33.
If the computer uses the Alert on LAN feature and you are connected to a network
that uses Intel LANDesk
message is also sent to the network administrator console indicating that the
computer cover has been removed. For more information, see "Alert on LAN" on
page 13 and contact the network administrator.
