LegacySelect Technology Control
LegacySelect technology control offers legacy-full, legacy-reduced, or legacy-free solutions
based on common platforms, hard-drive images, and help desk procedures. Control is
provided to the administrator through system setup, Dell OpenManage™ IT Assistant, or
Dell™ custom factory integration.
LegacySelect allows administrators to electronically activate or deactivate connectors and
media devices that include serial and USB connectors, a parallel connector, a floppy drive,
and a PS/2 mouse. Connectors and media devices that are deactivated make resources
available. You must restart the computer for the changes to take effect.
Manageability
Alert Standard Format
ASF is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating
system-absent" alerting techniques. It is designed to generate an alert on potential security
and fault conditions when the operating system is in a sleep state or the computer is
powered down. ASF is designed to supersede previous operating system-absent alerting
technologies.
Your computer supports the following ASF alerts and remote capabilities:
