Asset ID capability
IBM provides the basis for Asset ID
2
support in some models. Asset ID
provides the capability to access information that is stored in an EEPROM
module on the system board, using a radio-frequency-enabled portable scanner.
The Asset ID EEPROM contains prerecorded information about the system,
including its configuration and serial numbers of key components. The Asset
ID EEPROM also includes a number of blank fields you can record with your
choice of information. The Asset ID can be scanned from a short distance. The
scanning of the Asset ID does not require the computer cover to be removed or
even require that the computer be removed from the box in which it is
shipped. This type of wireless tracking enables quicker system deployment and
improved asset control. Also, Asset ID information is available through UM
services.
For the latest information about security features for your computer, go to the
IBM support page at http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/desktop/assetid/ on the
World Wide Web.
To determine if your computer comes with Asset ID capability, check the
Configuration/Setup Utility program. For instructions to start the
Configuration/Setup Utility program, see “Starting and using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 29. If your computer comes
with Asset ID capability, see “Using Enhanced Security” on page 31 for
information about enabling Asset ID.
