Technical Specifications

 

Network Heuristics – built-in basic capabilities to filter inbound and outbound network

 

traffic. Backwards compatible with earlier management consoles

DASH 1.0 support (Desktop and

A standards initiative for representing out-of-band management capability for computer

mobile Architecture for System

systems. It is a secure, web-services based successor to ASF.

TXT (Trusted Execution

TXT allows for secure management (via TPM) and measured launch of VMM, as

Technology) and VT-d (Virtualized

well as teardown of secrets in unexpected reset case. TXT support provided in

devices)

select Intel processors.

 

VT-d is a chipset technology that virtualizes directed I/O

 

Together, TXT and VT-d may be used to support verified launch of a known trusted

 

VMM that also may protect VMs from accessing each other's memory.

Virtual Appliance support

Tested support for Virtual Appliance (VA) 2.6 ISV applications.

 

Hardware ready for future VA 3.0 ISV applications (with VT-d and TXT support)

Computrace

Computrace agent support standard

Tower

Product can be oriented as a tower (in addition to desktop orientation)

Drive Lock*

Implementation of the industry standard ATA Security feature set. When enabled, it

 

prevents software access to user data on the drive until one or two user-defined

 

passwords are provided.

Drive Self Tests (DPS)*

Drive Protection System

 

A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components and every

 

sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports any faults to the user.

 

Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through a

 

Windows-based diagnostics utility or through the computer's setup procedure. It

DPS Access through F10 Setup

produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source of the problem

during Boot

and needs to be replaced.

 

 

The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology

 

(SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to

 

certain types of failures.

SMART Technology*

Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures

(Self-Monitoring, Analysis and

Reporting Technology)

Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication

By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance"

SMART III – Off-Line Read

against unplanned user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure

Scanning with Defect Reallocation

of SMART IV support.

 

* This feature is inoperable when a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configuration is enabled.
