Asset Management

The Compaq Asset Management solution begins with AssetControl, hardware
designed and built into new Compaq workstations, key components, and
monitors. AssetControl features make it easy and inexpensive to maintain an
accurate, up-to-date inventory of these devices. These features:

Provide detailed inventory information about various components,
including:

Manufacturer, model, and serial number of Compaq workstations,
monitors, hard drives, and dual inline memory modules (DIMMs)

Asset tag

System board and ROM revision level

Allow you to view, print, or electronically save this data and other
system configuration details, using:

Compaq Diagnostics for Windows NT

System management products from the Compaq Management
Solutions Partners

Management software products supporting the Desktop
Management Interface revision 2.0 (DMI 2.0)

Simplify and help ensure the accuracy of inventory and accounting
procedures

Streamline service calls by giving the administrator fast access to the
Compaq workstation configuration and history

Simplify remote software distribution procedures by allowing the
system administrator to identify software and revision levels remotely
