Using the Asset RF ID feature
Using the Asset RF ID feature
The Asset ID RF feature, available as an option, contains Asset ID
technology, which you can think of as the next generation of bar
code technology. This option enables communication between the
ThinkPad computer and an industry-standard radio-frequency
hand-held device, called a reader hereafter in this manual. The
option provides better management, deployment, and security of your
ThinkPad computer inventory. After this option is installed in your
computer, the reader can recognize the following information:
Serial numbers:
System board
System unit
Configuration information:
UUID
MAC address
CPU data
DIMM data
Diskette drive data
IDE device data
PCI device data
ISA Plug and Play device data
LCD panel data
Docking station data
A reader can also recognize the following user information after it
has been set in your computer:
User name
Telephone number
Machine lease data
This option can also be used to prevent your computer from being
stolen. It is effective only when the supervisor password is set.
If you use this option for security, you need to enable RFID security
after installing it into your computer. For more information, refer to
the online user's guide.
