If your computer uses the Alert on LAN feature, and you are connected to a network that uses Intel LANDesk® Desktop Manager or IBM LANClient Manager, a message is also sent to the network administrator console notifying that the computer cover has been removed. For more information, see "Alert on LAN" on page 29 and contact your network administrator. Component protection Your computer has serialized components that can be registered with a third-party security company. (You can also register the entire system.) By registering computer components, you can improve the chances of identifying the components if they are ever stolen and recovered. For more information about component registration, see the IBM support page at http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/desktop/assetid on the World Wide Web. Asset ID capability IBM provides the basis for Asset ID™3 support in your computer. Asset ID provides the capability to access information about your computer that is stored in an EEPROM module on the system board, using a radio-frequency-enabled portable scanner. The Asset ID EEPROM contains prerecorded information about the system, including its configuration and the serial numbers of key components. The Asset ID EEPROM also includes a number of blank fields you can record with your choice of information. The Asset ID can be scanned from a short distance. The scanning of the Asset ID does not require the computer cover to be removed or even require that the computer be removed from the box in which it is shipped. This type of wireless tracking enables quicker system deployment and improved asset control. Also, Asset ID information is available through UM Services. For the latest information on personal computer security features, visit the IBM support page at http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/desktop/assetid on the World Wide Web. For information about enabling Asset ID, see Chapter 4, "Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 39. 3 Asset ID enables your personal computer to be scanned by various radio frequency-emitting devices supplied by independent companies. Asset ID is intended for use only with radio frequency equipment that meets ANSI/IEEE C95.1 1991 RF Radiation Limits. 32 IntelliStation Z Pro User Guide
