PC Transplant Pro and PC Transplant for Compaq

PC Transplant, designed to assist you in personalizing the new Compaq computer, can be
downloaded free from the Compaq Web site. It lets you preserve the "personality"—the
customized settings such as Start menu entries, drive and printer mappings, software application
options, and so on—of an existing PC, then transfer those unique settings to a Compaq PC so that
you don't have to invest valuable time manually recreating them.

Asset Tracking and Security

Compaq AssetControl features incorporated into the computer provide key asset tracking data
that can be managed using Compaq Insight Manager products and Management Solutions
Partners products. Seamless, automatic integration between AssetControl features and these
products enables you to choose the management tool that is best suited to your environment and
to leverage your investment in existing tools.
Compaq computers and Professional Workstations are manufactured with the hardware and
firmware required to fully support the DMI 2.0 standard.
Compaq also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and
information. Security features such as the Smart Cover Sensor and the Smart Cover Lock,
available on select models, help to prevent unauthorized access to the internal components of the
PC. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable media boot capability,
you can protect valuable data assets. Memory Change and Smart Cover Sensor alerts can be
automatically forwarded to Compaq Insight Manager products to deliver proactive notification of
tampering with a computer's internal components.
There are three ways to manage security settings on your Compaq computers:
!"
Locally, using the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities. See the Hardware Reference Guide
included with the computer for additional information.
!"
Remotely, using the Compaq Remote Security Management software. This software
enables the secure, consistent deployment and control of security settings from a central
point on the network using a third-party PC LAN management application such as
Microsoft SMS.
!"
Remotely, using Compaq Insight Manager LC, a tool for managing PC workgroups.
