Device Security Enables/disables serial ports, parallel port, front USB ports, 
system audio, network controllers (some models), MultiBay 
devices (some models), and SCSI controllers (some models).
Network Service Boot Enables/disables the computer’s ability to boot from an 
operating system installed on a network server. (Feature 
available on NIC models only; the network controller must 
reside on the PCI bus or be embedded on the system board.)
System IDs Allows you to set:
• Asset tag (18-byte identifier) and ownership Tag (80-byte 
identifier displayed during POST). 
See the Desktop Management Guide on the 
Documentation CD for more information.
• Chassis serial number or Universal Unique Identifier 
(UUID) number. The UUID can only be updated if the 
current chassis serial number is invalid. (These ID 
numbers are normally set in the factory and are used to 
uniquely identify the system.)
