Asset Tracking and Security
Compaq AssetControl features incorporated into the Personal Computer
provide key asset tracking data that can be managed using Compaq Insight
Manager products and Management Solutions Partners products. Seamless,
automatic integration between AssetControl features and these products
enables you to choose the management tool that is best suited to your
environment and to leverage your investment in existing tools.
Compaq Personal Computers are manufactured with the hardware and
firmware required to fully support the DMI 2.0 standard.
Compaq also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable
Personal Computer components and information. Security features such as the
Memory Change alert, power-on password, and setup password help to
prevent unauthorized access to the internal components of the Personal
Computer. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling
removable media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets.
Memory Change alerts can be automatically forwarded to Compaq Insight
Manager products to deliver proactive notification of tampering with the
internal components of the Personal Computer.
There are three ways to manage security settings on your Compaq Personal
Computers:
■ Locally, using the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities. See the “Computer
Setup Utilities (F10 Setup)” section of the Troubleshooting Guide for more
information and instructions.
■ Remotely, using the Compaq Remote Security Management software. This
software enables the secure, consistent deployment and control of security
settings from a central point on the network using a third-party PC LAN
management application such as Microsoft SMS.
■ Remotely, using Compaq Insight Manager LC, a tool for managing PC
workgroups.
The following table and sections refer to managing security features of your
Computer locally through the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities. Refer to the
Remote Management Setup Utilities for more information on using the
Remote Security Management software. These utilities are available on the
Compaq Web site at www.compaq.com/support/files/index.html. For more
information on Insight Manager LC, refer to www.compaq.com/im/lc.
