Once the tablet is congured and operational, you can manage it by use of software and manageability
features already integrated into the client system and the network.
System management
Read this topic to learn more about features of system management.
Desktop Management Interface
The system UEFI BIOS of your tablet supports an interface called System Management BIOS Reference
Specication (SMBIOS) V2.6.1 SMBIOS provides information about the hardware components of your
system. It is the responsibility of the BIOS to supply this database with information about itself and the
devices on the system board. This specication documents the standards for getting access to this BIOS
information.
Preboot eXecution Environment
Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) technology makes your tablet more manageable (it is PXE
2.1-compliant) by enabling it to boot (load an operating system or another executable image) from a server.
Your tablet supports the personal tablet functions that PXE requires. For example, with the appropriate LAN
card, your tablet can be booted from the PXE server.
Note: Remote Program Load (RPL) cannot be used with your tablet.
Asset ID EEPROM
The Asset ID EEPROM contains information about the system, including its conguration and the serial
numbers of key components. It also includes a number of blank elds in which you can record information
about the end users in your network.
Setting management feature
Your network administrator can remotely update the system programs on your tablet from a management
console. The following requirements must be met:
• Your tablet must be started over the LAN.
• Your tablet must be engaged in a Preboot eXecution Environment.
• Network-management software must be installed on the remote administrator's tablet.
