Desktop Management 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: I Locally, using the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities. See the "Computer Setup Utilities (F10 Setup)" section of the Troubleshooting Guide for more information and instructions. I 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. I 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.
