Alert Standard Format
ASF is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" alerting techniques. The standard is designed to
generate an alert on potential security and fault conditions when the operating system is in a sleep mode or the computer is turned off. ASF is designed to
supersede previous operating-system-absent alerting technologies.
Your computer supports the following ASF version 1.03 and 2.0 alerts and remote capabilities:
ASF allows Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP) messages to be exchanged between a remote management console and a client computer that
is in a "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" state. RMCP messages can be sent to instruct a client computer to start up, shut down, or
restart.
For more information about Dell's ASF implementation, see the ASF User's Guide and the ASF Administrator's Guide, which are available on the Dell Support
website at support.dell.com.
Dell OpenManage™ Applications
You can manage your computer via IT Assistant and Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation (OMCI).
IT Assistant configures, manages, and monitors computers and other devices on a corporate network. IT Assistant manages assets, configurations, events
(alerts), and security for computers equipped with industry-standard management software. It supports instrumentation that conforms to SNMP and CIM
industry standards.
For information on IT Assistant, see the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation is software that enables remote management programs such as IT Assistant to do the following:
l
Access information about your computer, such as how many processors it has and what operating system it is running.
l
Monitor the status of your computer, such as listening for thermal alerts from temperature probes or hard drive failure alerts from storage devices.
A computer that has Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation set up on a network that uses IT Assistant is a managed computer. For information about Dell
OpenManage Client Instrumentation, see the Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
