HP Z230 Workstation - Maintenance and Service Guide

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 as follows:
●
Locally with 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
The following Computer Setup (f10) Utility features let you manage computer security.
