Desktop Management 3.4 Asset Tracking and Security Asset tracking features incorporated into the workstation provide key asset tracking data that can be managed using HP Insight Manager, HP Client Manager or other system management applications. Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking 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. HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information. Security features such as the Smart Cover Sensor and the Smart Cover Lock, available on select models, help to prevent unauthorized access to the internal components of the workstation. By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets. Memory Change and Smart Cover Sensor alerts can be automatically forwarded to system management applications to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a workstation's internal components. ✎ The Smart Cover Sensor and the Smart Cover Lock are available as options on select systems.
