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, PCI slots, and a PS/2 mouse. Connectors and media devices that are
deactivated make resources available. You must restart the computer to effect the changes.
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 system is powered down. ASF is designed to supercede previous operating system-absent alerting technologies.
The OptiPlex GX260 supports the following ASF alerts and remote capabilities:
Alert

Chassis Intrusion/Chassis Intrusion Cleared
System chassis has been opened/System chassis

Corrupt BIOS
The system BIOS is corrupted
Failure to Boot to BIOS
