Service Boot
Service Boot is a BIOS-based manageability solution that allows a
computer to be booted up without any operating system on the
hard disk, or with a damaged image, attaching to a (usually server-
based) configuration tool. With the configuration tool, the IT
administrator can reconfigure the hard disk image, perform
software upgrades of individual components and perform a BIOS
upgrade. Basically, it allows an administrator to restore a crashed
disk drive quickly and easily.
Alert on LAN
Alert on LAN is a new network connection technology that
recognizes when there are hardware or operating system failures,
or evidence of tampering, even if the computer is powered down
or the operating system is unavailable. When used in combination
with LDCM v.3.3, this manageability solution allows the IT
administrator to receive the alerts remotely and adjust their
settings, if desired. Alert on LAN technology is embedded on the
motherboard of the Toshiba Network Dock.
Security management
System security is of primary concern for many end users,
particularly those individuals and IT departments working within
the corporate environment. Loss of any kind, whether loss of
hardware or loss of sensitive data, directly impacts the profitability
of any business. Security concerns revolve around two major
challenges:
❖
Ensuring that data is secure from loss or external tampering
❖ Ensuring that computers and/or components are secure from
theft
Types and levels of security that protect against data or hardware
loss or theft are described below.
