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, PCI slots, and a PS/2 mouse. Connectors and media devices that are
deactivated make resources available. You must restart the computer to effect the changes.
Manageability
Alert Standard Format
ASF is a DMTF management standard that specifies "pre-operating system" or "operating system-absent" alerting techniques.
The standard is designed to generate an alert on potential security and fault conditions when the operating system is in a
sleep state or the system is powered down. ASF is designed to supersede previous operating system-absent alerting
technologies.
Your computer supports the following ASF version 1.03 alerts and remote capabilities:
Alert Description
Chassis: Chassis Intrusion – Physical Security
Violation/Chassis Intrusion – Physical Security
Violation Event Cleared The computer chassis with the chassis intrusion feature
installed and enabled has been opened or the chassis
intrusion alert has been cleared.
CPU: Emergency Shutdown Event The processor temperature is too hot and the power supply
has shut down.
Cooling Device: Generic Critical Fan
Failure/Generic Critical Fan Failure Cleared The fan speed (rpm) is out of limits or the fan speed (rpm)
problem has been resolved.
Temperature: Generic Critical Temperature
Problem/Generic Critical Temperature Problem
Cleared The computer temperature is out of limits or the computer

For more information about Dell's ASF implementation, see the ASF User's Guide and the ASF Administrator's Guide, which
