Once the computer is configured and operational, you can manage it by using the software and the
manageability features that are already integrated into the client computer and the network.
Desktop Management Interface
The UEFI BIOS of your computer supports an interface called System Management BIOS (SMBIOS)
Reference Specification, version 2.7.1. SMBIOS provides information about the hardware components of
your computer. It is the responsibility of the UEFI BIOS to provide information about itself and the devices on
the system board. This specification documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS information.
Preboot eXecution Environment
The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes the computer more manageable by enabling the
computer to start from a server. Your computer supports the personal computer functions that PXE requires.
Note: The Remote Initial Program Load (RIPL or RPL) function cannot be used with your computer.
Asset ID EEPROM
The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the computer configuration and the serial numbers of
the key components. It also includes a number of blank fields where you can record information about
the end users in your network.
