LegacySelect Technology Control

 

LegacySelect technology control offers legacy-full, legacy-reduced, or legacy-free solutions based on common platforms, hard-drive images, and help desk

procedures. Control is provided to the administrator through system setup, Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, or Dell™ custom factory integration.

 

LegacySelect allows administrators to electronically activate or deactivate connectors and media devices that include serial and USB connectors, a parallel

connector, a floppy drive, and a PS/2 mouse. Connectors and media devices that are deactivated make resources available. You must restart the computer for
the changes to take effect.

Manageability

Alert Standard Format

 

ASF is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" alerting techniques. It is designed to generate an

alert on potential security and fault conditions when the operating system is in a sleep state or the computer is powered down. ASF is designed to supersede
previous operating system-absent alerting technologies.

 

Your computer supports the following ASF alerts and remote capabilities:

 

 

For more information about Dell's ASF implementation, see the ASF User's Guide and the ASF Administrator's Guide, available on the Dell Support website at

support.dell.com.

Dell OpenManage IT Assistant

 

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, DMI, and CIM
industry standards.

 

Dell OpenManage Client instrumentation, which is based on DMI and CIM, is available for your computer. For information on IT Assistant, see the Dell

OpenManage IT Assistant User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
