Using Asset ID You can set Asset ID to Enabled or Disabled. Enabling Asset ID enables wireless radio frequency communication. Disabling Asset ID prevents accessing the data stored in the Asset ID EEPROM using an RF scanner; however, the data is still accessible from the desktop using the UM Services software. Using the IBM Embedded Security Chip The Embedded Security Chip is a built-in cryptographic technology that can be used to secure the electronic transmission of information. To use the security features on this chip, you must also install security software that is available at http://www.ibm.com/pc/us on the World Wide Web. To enable the IBM Embedded Security Chip, do the following: 1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program. See "Starting and using the Configuration/Setup Utility program" on page 39. 2. Select System Security and press Enter. 3. Select IBM Embedded Security Chip and press Enter. 4. Set IBM Embedded Security Chip to Enable and press Enter. 5. Type the password in the bracketed field and press Enter. You can clear the IBM Embedded Security Chip by selecting Clear IBM Security Chip and pressing Enter. This will delete all IBM Embedded Security Chip passwords and encryption values and disable the IBM Embedded Security Chip feature. Enabling the Pentium III Xeon processor serial number feature The Pentium III Xeon microprocessor features a processor serial number. The processor serial number is an electronic number unique to each Pentium III Xeon microprocessor. This feature is used primarily to enhance security with Internet transactions. Your computer is shipped to you with this feature Off (disabled). To enable this feature, use the following procedure: 1. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
