Host VPN

Support for local management VPN tunneling

Intel Core 2 Processor with vPro
Technology

NOTE:

NOTE: Requires the utilization of the
integrated network connection.

Select models feature Intel's Core 2 Processor with vPro Technology including the
following:

Intel Advanced Management Technology (AMT) 5.0

All Intel Standard Manageability technologies
Fast call for help – client outside the firewall may initiate a call for help via BIOS
screen, periodic connections, or alert triggered connection
Audit Logs – policy based log of AMT actions to deter rogue administrator actions
Microsoft NAP Support – allows AMT to gain access to a Microsoft NAP enabled
802.1x network OOB to enable OOB SW updates, inventories, remote
diagnostics, etc.

DASH 1.0 support (Desktop and Mobile
Architecture for System Hardware)

A standards initiative for representing out-of-band management capability for computer
systems. It is a secure, web-services based successor to ASF.

ASF 2.0 support (Alert Standard Format)

Industry-standard specification for network alerting in operating system-absent
environments

TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) and VT-
d (Virtualized devices)

TXT allows for secure management (via TPM) and measured launch of VMM, as
well as teardown of secrets in unexpected reset case. TXT support provided in
select Intel processors.
VT-d is a chipset technology that virtualizes directed I/O

Together, TXT and VT-d may be used to support verified launch of a known trusted VMM
that also may protect VMs from accessing each other's memory.

Computrace

Computrace agent support standard

Tower

Product can be oriented as a tower (in addition to desktop orientation)

Drive Lock

Implementation of the industry standard ATA Security feature set. When enabled, it
prevents software access to user data on the drive until one or two user-defined
passwords are provided.

Drive Self Tests (DPS)

Drive Protection System
A diagnostic hard drive self test. It scans critical physical components and every
sector of the hard drive for physical faults and then reports any faults to the user.
Running independently of the operating system, it can be accessed through a
Windows-based diagnostics utility or through the computer's setup procedure. It
produces an evaluation on whether the hard drive is the source of the problem
and needs to be replaced.
The system expands on the Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology
(SMART), a continuously running systems diagnostic that alerts the user to certain
types of failures.

DPS Access through F10 Setup during Boot

SMART Technology

(Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting
Technology)

Allows hard drives to monitor their own health and to raise flags if imminent failures
were predicted

Predicts failures before they occur. Tracks fault prediction and failure indication
parameters such as re-allocated sector count, spin retry count, calibration retry
count
By avoiding actual hard drive failures, SMART hard drives act as "insurance"
against unplanned user downtime and potential data loss from hard drive failure
IOEDC: I/O Error Detection Circuitry
Detects errors in Read/Write buffers on HDD cache RAM
Interface in F10 setup for all dc7900 platforms provides confirmation of SMART

SMART I – Drive Failure Prediction

SMART II – Off-Line Data Collection

SMART III – Off-Line Read Scanning with
Defect Reallocation
