Alert Standard Format

Alert Standard Format (ASF) is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" alerting techniques. The standard is designed to generate an alert on potential security and fault conditions when the operating system is in a sleep mode or the computer is turned off. ASF is designed to supersede previous operating-system-absent alerting technologies.

Your computer supports the following ASF version 1.03 and 2.0 alerts and remote capabilities:

Alert	Description

Chassis: Chassis Intrusion – Physical Security	The computer chassis with the chassis intrusion feature (optional on some
Violation/Chassis Intrusion – Physical Security Violation	computers) installed and enabled has been opened or the chassis intrusion alert has
Event Cleared	been cleared.

CPU: Emergency Shutdown Event	The processor temperature is too hot and the power supply has shut down.

Cooling Device: Generic Critical Fan Failure/Generic Critical	The fan speed (rpm) is out of limits or the fan speed (rpm) problem has been
Fan Failure Cleared	resolved.

Temperature: Generic Critical Temperature Problem/Generic	The computer temperature is out of limits or the computer temperature problem has
Critical Temperature Problem Cleared	been resolved.

Battery Low	The computer battery has reached a voltage of 2.2 V or lower.

ASF allows Remote Management and Control Protocol (RMCP) messages to be exchanged between a remote management console and a client computer that is in a "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" state. RMCP messages can be sent to instruct a client computer to start up, shut down, or restart.

For more information about Dell's ASF implementation, see the ASF User's Guide and the ASF Administrator's Guide, which are available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation is software that enables remote management programs such as IT Assistant to do the following:

•Access information about your computer, such as how many processors it has and what operating system it is running.

•Monitor the status of your computer, such as listening for thermal alerts from temperature probes or hard drive failure alerts from storage devices.

A computer that has Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation set up on a network that uses IT Assistant is a managed computer. For information about Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation, see the Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
