Asset Tracking - HP Z1 Maintenance And Service Manual

Asset tracking

Asset tracking features provide asset tracking data that can be managed using HP Systems Insight
Manager (HP SIM), HP Console Management Controller (CMC), or other systems-management
applications.
Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking features and these products enables you to
choose the management tool that is best suited to the environment and to leverage investments in
existing tools.
HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information:
HP ProtectTools Embedded Security prevents unauthorized access to data, checks system
●
integrity, and authenticates third-party users attempting system access.
Security features such as ProtectTools and the Smart Cover Sensor (side access panel sensor)
●
help prevent unauthorized access to the data and to the internal components of the computer.
By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable-media boot capability, you
●
can protect valuable data assets.
Memory Change and Side access panel sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) alerts can be forwarded
●
to system management applications to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a
computer's internal components.
ProtectTools, the Smart Cover Sensor, and the side access panel solenoid lock (Hood Lock) are
available as options on select systems.
You can manage security settings as follows:
Locally, with Computer Setup (F10) Utility
●
Remotely, with HP CMS or HP System Software Manager (SSM), which enable the secure,
●
consistent deployment and control of security settings from a simple command line utility
