HP Z420 D3J34UT#ABA manual Asset tracking, 3F10 security features overview, Feature Purpose

Asset tracking

Asset tracking features provide asset tracking data that can be managed using HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), HP Console Management Controller (CMC), or other systems-management applications.

Seamless, automatic integration between asset tracking features and these products enables you to choose the management tool that is best suited to the environment and to leverage investments in existing tools.

HP also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable components and information:

●HP ProtectTools Embedded Security prevents unauthorized access to data, checks system integrity, and authenticates third-party users attempting system access.

●Security features such as ProtectTools and the Smart Cover Sensor (side access panel sensor) help prevent unauthorized access to the data and to the internal components of the computer.

●By disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable-media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets.

●Memory Change and Side access panel sensor (Smart Cover Sensor) alerts can be forwarded to system management applications to deliver proactive notification of tampering with a computer’s internal components.

ProtectTools, the Smart Cover Sensor, and the side access panel solenoid lock (Hood Lock) are available as options on select systems.

You can manage security settings:

●Locally with the Computer Setup (F10) Utility

●Remotely with HP CMS or HP System Software Manager (SSM), which enable the secure, consistent deployment and control of security settings from a simple command line utility

For more information about the Computer Setup (F10) Utility, see The Computer Setup (F10) Utility menu on page 44.
