If the drop-down list on the left displays NOT, then the work rule is stating that the device
should not match the component as described in the next two fields.
To use the
Hardware Type option effectively, you must first configure the settings for
either the Server or Laptop field in the Hardware Type Definitions section in the work
assignment configuration. The Workstation hardware type is the default and requires no
configuration for it to be used. In other words, if you do not provide a BIOS identification
string for a server or laptop, then select
Server or Laptop in the Value for Component field,
the devices are treated as workstations, where a BIOS identification is not used.
Š
Relationship to: This defines the relationship for a filter between the Device component
field listed above and the value provided in the Value for the component field.
The possible options for the Hard drive size and RAM fields are:
< (less than)
> (greater than)
= (equal to)
>= (greater than or equal to)
<= (less than or equal to)
<> (not equal to)
For all other components, the options are:
Contains
Equal To
Starts With
If the drop-down list on the left displays NOT, then the work rule is stating that the
component does the opposite. For example, does NOT Contain, is NOT Equal To, does
NOT Start With, is NOT >, is NOT >=, is NOT =, is NOT <>, and so on.
Š
Value for the component: Enter the information that exactly describes the device
component’s value that the device must match to accept the rule. For example, 512 could
be entered for the
RAM field value in Device component field, meaning the device must
have that amount of RAM, or more or less, depending on the selections you make in the
other fields in the filter.
If you select
Hardware Type from the Device Component drop-down list, this field
becomes a drop-down list where you can select Server , Laptop , or Workstation . Server and
Laptop must be defined to be useful, or the effect is the same as selecting Workstation ,
which is the default hardware type and does not need a BIOS identification defined.
