Compaq also offers several solutions for controlling access to valuable
components and information. Security features such as the Smart Cover
Sensor and the Smart Cover Lock, available on select models, help to
prevent unauthorized access to the internal components of the PC. By
disabling parallel, serial, or USB ports, or by disabling removable
media boot capability, you can protect valuable data assets. Memory
Change and Smart Cover Sensor alerts can be automatically forwarded
to Compaq Insight Manager products to deliver proactive notification of
tampering with a computer's internal components.
There are three ways to manage security settings on your Compaq
computers:
Locally, using the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities. See the
Hardware Reference Guide included with the computer for
additional information and instructions on using the Computer
Setup Utilities.
Remotely, using the Compaq Remote Security Management
software. This software enables the secure, consistent deployment
and control of security settings from a central point on the network
using a third-party PC LAN management application such as
Microsoft SMS.
Remotely, using Compaq Insight Manager LC, a tool for managing
PC workgroups.
The following table and sections refer to managing security features of
your Computer locally through the Compaq Computer Setup Utilities.
Refer to the Remote Management Setup Utilities for more information
on using the Remote Security Management software. These utilities are
available on the Compaq Web site at
www.compaq.com/support/files/index.html. For more information on
Insight Manager LC, refer to www.compaq.com/im/lc.
