Using system management This section is intended primarily for network administrators. Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can redirect more of your resources to better meet your business objectives. This manageability, or "Total Cost of Ownership" (TCO), enables you or your network administrator to remotely power on your computer, format the hard disk drive, install the software of your choice (for example, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT with user and system-management applications), and have the computer start up and function in the same way as an ordinary desktop PC. Once the computer is configured and operational, you can achieve ongoing management through software and manageability features already integrated into the client system and the network. This section describes the system management features of your computer, including the following: The system management features of your computer How to set up the system management features System-management features This section describes the system-management features provided by your computer.

Using system management
This section is intended primarily for network administrators.
Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can
redirect more of your resources to better meet your business
objectives.
This manageability, or “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO),
enables you or your network administrator to remotely power on your
computer, format the hard disk drive, install the software of your
choice (for example, Windows 98, Windows 95, or Windows NT with
user and system-management applications), and have the computer
start up and function in the same way as an ordinary desktop PC.
Once the computer is configured and operational, you can achieve
ongoing management through software and manageability features
already integrated into the client system and the network.
