Manageability

LegacySelect Technology Control

LegacySelect technology control offers legacy-full, legacy-reduced, or legacy-free solutions based on common platforms, hard-drive images, and help desk procedures. Control is provided to the administrator through system setup, Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, or Dell™ custom factory integration.

LegacySelect allows administrators to electronically activate or deactivate connectors and media devices that include serial and USB connectors, a parallel connector, a floppy drive, PCI slots, and a PS/2 mouse. Connectors and media devices that are deactivated make resources available. You must restart the computer to effect the changes.

Manageability

Alert Standard Format

ASF is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" alerting techniques. It is designed to generate an alert on potential security and fault conditions when the operating system is in a sleep state or the system is powered down. ASF is designed to supercede previous operating system-absent alerting technologies.

The OptiPlex GX260 supports the following ASF alerts and remote capabilities:

Alert
Description

Chassis Intrusion/Chassis Intrusion Cleared
System chassis has been opened/System chassis intrusion alert has been cleared

Corrupt BIOS
The system BIOS is corrupted

Failure to Boot to BIOS
System BIOS did not complete loading upon initiation

System Password Failure
System password invalid (after 3 failed attempts)

Entity Presence
Periodic Heartbeats transmitted to verify system presence

Temperature - Too Low/Low/High/Too High/Fault - Non Critical/Fault - Critical
System temperature out of limits

Voltage - Too Low/Too High/Fault
System voltage out of limits

Cooling Device - Speed Low/Speed Too Low/Malfunction/Status Change
Fan speed/rpm out of limits

Ethernet Connectivity Enabled/ Ethernet Connectivity Disabled
Ethernet Connectivity Enabled/Ethernet Connectivity Disabled

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

Dell OpenManage IT Assistant

IT Assistant is a workgroup management solution for managing Dell clients and servers. It is not required to manage Dell client systems, but it is an easy-to-use, browser-based management console that allows an administrator to monitor system health at a glance. It has a robust discovery engine that will identify systems, place them in the appropriate group (Desktop, Portable, Workstation, Server), and provide extensive detail on the configuration, OS, and hardware makeup of these systems.

For information about IT Assistant, see the Dell OpenManage IT Assistant User's Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.

Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation

OMCI is an application that ships standard on all OptiPlex™ systems and is optionally available for Dell Precision™ and Latitude™. OMCI is based on industry-standard management protocols such as DMI and CIM, and it has support for SNMP. OMCI allows DMI-, CIM-, or SNMP-compliant management consoles to collect inventory and configuration information and receive proactive notification of potential fault conditions. OMCI monitors the system hardware and sends an alert when a chassis has been compromised or a potential problem has been detected. Used in conjunction with IT Assistant, OMCI allows customers to remotely perform remote BIOS updates and modify CMOS settings on a single Dell system or a group of Dell systems.

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.

NOTE: Before you purchase an antitheft device, make sure that it works with the security cable slot on your computer.

Antitheft devices usually include a segment of metal-stranded cable with an attached locking device and key. Dell recommends that you use a Kensington lock. The documentation that comes with the device contains instructions for installing it.

Password Protection

NOTICE: Although passwords provide security for the data on your computer, they are not foolproof. If your data requires more security, it is your responsibility to obtain and use additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs.

System Password

NOTICE: If you leave your computer running and unattended without having a system password assigned, or if you leave your computer unlocked so that someone can disable the password by changing a jumper setting, anyone can access the data stored on your hard drive.

Option Settings

You cannot change or enter a new system password if either of the following two options is displayed:

Enabled — a system password is assigned
Disabled — the system password is disabled by a jumper setting on the system board

You can only assign a system password when the following option is displayed:

Not Enabled — no system password is assigned and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled position (the default)

Assigning a System Password

To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press <Tab> or the <Shift><Tab> key combination to move to another field, or press <Esc> at any time before you complete step 5.
