Using System-Management Features Note: Although this section is intended primarily for network administrators, it also provides useful information for the personal computer user. This section describes system-management features that make it possible for a network administrator to remotely manage and control the IBM personal computer when it is linked to a network. System management is a general term for the group of hardware and software features that provide enhanced value for a computer remotely managed over a network. When used in conjunction with the appropriate network-management software, the system-management features provide network administrators with the tools necessary to remotely manage and monitor a networked computer. The system-management features discussed in this section usually perform one or more of the following functions: � Power on the computer � Monitor and relay system information about the computer � Track, control, and secure computer assets � Load software onto the computer Note: In order to fully use some of the system-management features, additional hardware or software (supplied by IBM or other manufacturers) might be required. Wake on LAN The Wake on LAN feature can be used by a network administrator to turn on your computer remotely from an administrator console. When Wake on LAN is used in conjunction with network-management software, such as TME 10 Netfinity Version 4 (provided on the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD for your computer), many types of functions, such as data transfers, software updates, and POST and BIOS updates can be performed remotely on your computer and other computers enabled for Wake on LAN that are linked to your network. This updating can be done after hours and on weekends, which saves time and increases productivity. Users are not interrupted during normal working hours and LAN traffic is kept to a minimum. Your computer supports Wake on LAN, and the integrated Ethernet feature has built-in support for Wake on LAN (and Alert on LAN). It also supports the installation of Wake on LAN network adapters. For information on installing adapters, see Chapter 7, “Installing Options Overview” on page 81. Note: You can view the Media Access Control (MAC) address through the Configuration/Setup Utility program. 28 Using Your IntelliStation E Pro
Alert on LAN Support Support for Alert on LAN is built into your computer. Alert on LAN technology provides notification of changes in the computer system even if the computer is powered off. Working with DMI and Wake on LAN technologies, Alert on LAN helps to manage and monitor the hardware and software features of your computer. Examples of when Alert on LAN generates notifications are: � The computer cover has been removed � Internal computer components are removed � POST fails during a Wake on LAN attempt � The computer is disconnected from the network or unplugged from the power outlet Alert on LAN can be integrated with network-management software such as Intel ® LANDesk ® Client Manager and IBM Client Services for Netfinity Manager. Alert on LAN Alert on LAN is a new hardware and software technology supported on some models of your computer. It immediately alerts network administrators when a computer has a problem, even if the power is off or has no operating system running. For system management, Alert on LAN helps the network administrator to react quickly and effectively when problems occur, rather than waiting for input from the user. For more information about Alert on LAN, go to the World Wide Web at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/desktop/alertonlan/index.html RPL or DHCP RPL (Remote Program Load) and DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enable a network administrator to control your computer. If you use RPL in conjunction with software such as LANClient Control Manager, you can use a feature called Hybrid RPL. Using LANClient Control Manager, you set up your computer by installing hybrid images (or files) on the hard disk. Then, each time the computer starts from the network, LANClient Control Manager recognizes your computer as a Hybrid RPL client and a bootstrap program is downloaded to your computer. This bootstrap program is small and helps prevent network congestion. Working from the hybrid images, the bootstrap program initiates the startup process from the hard disk of your computer. An advantage to Hybrid RPL is that the network load associated with standard RPL is avoided. Chapter 4. Operating Your Computer 29
