Asset ID Capability<br />

For the latest information on personal computer security features, visit the IBM<br />

Asset ID home page at:<br />

http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/desktop/assetid<br />

IBM provides the basis for Asset ID 1 support in your computer. Asset ID provides<br />

the capability to access information about your computer that is stored in an<br />

EEPROM module on the system board using a radio-frequency-enabled portable<br />

scanner.<br />

The Asset ID EEPROM contains pre-recorded information about the system,<br />

including its configuration and the serial numbers of key components. The Asset ID<br />

EEPROM also includes a number of blank fields you can record with your choice of<br />

user information. The Asset ID can be scanned from a short distance. The scanning<br />

of the Asset ID does not require the computer cover to be removed or even require<br />

the computer being removed from the box it is shipped in. This type of wireless<br />

tracking enables quicker system deployment and improved asset control.<br />

Remote Administration<br />

The system programs (POST/BIOS) of your computer can be updated remotely<br />

across a network. A setting in the Configuration/Setup Utility program allows you<br />

to enable the computer for remote administration. See “Setting Remote<br />

Administration” on page 56.<br />

IBM System Management Tools<br />

IBM System Management Tools are provided on the Ready-to-Configure Utility<br />

<strong>Pro</strong>gram CD that comes with your computer. If your computer comes with<br />

IBM-preinstalled software, IBM System Management Tools are also provided in a<br />

ready-to-install form on the hard disk. The IBM System Management Tools package<br />

includes the following components:<br />

� Desktop Management Interface (DMI) Service <strong>Pro</strong>vider 2.0<br />

1 Asset ID allows your personal computer to be scanned by various radio frequency-emitting devices<br />

supplied by independent companies. Asset ID is intended for use only with radio frequency<br />

equipment that meets ANSI/IEEE C95.1 1991 RF Radiation Limits.<br />
