Managing your computer Your computer comes with features that a network administrator or file server can use to remotely manage and control your computer. For more information about system management, see Understanding Your Computer (provided on the IBM Software Selections CD that comes with your computer). IBM Universal Manageability Services (UM Services) streamline and automate personal computer systems management and support tasks, such as asset deployment and tracking. These utilities are available for IBM PCs at no additional charge, helping to reduce total cost of ownership of your networked computers so that you can focus vital company resources on essential business activities. Go to http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/software/sysmgmt/ on the World Wide Web and select Products/Downloads for more information about available system management programs. Wake on LAN A network administrator can use the Wake on LAN feature to turn on your computer from a remote location. When Wake on LAN is used with network-management software, many types of functions, such as data transfers, software updates, and POST or BIOS updates to your computer can be initiated remotely. Note: If the computer power cord is plugged into a surge protector or power strip, make sure that when you turn off power you use the computer power switch and not the surge protector or power strip switch. Otherwise, the Wake on LAN feature will not work. Alert on LAN Your computer supports Alert on LAN technology. Alert on LAN technology provides notification of changes in the computer system even if the computer is turned off. Working with desktop management interface (DMI) and Wake on LAN technologies, Alert on LAN helps to manage and monitor the hardware and software features of your computer. Alert on LAN generates notifications when the computer cover has been removed, an error is detected during POST, or the computer is disconnected from the network or unplugged from the electrical outlet. Alert on LAN works in conjunction with UM Services. Chapter 3. Operating and caring for your computer 29
