Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation
Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation is software that enables remote 
management programs such as IT Assistant to do the following:
Access information about your computer, such as the number processors 
installed and the computer’s operating system.
Monitor the status of your computer, such as listening for thermal alerts 
from temperature probes or hard drive failure alerts from storage devices.
Change the state of your computer, such as updating the BIOS or shutting 
down the computer remotely.
A managed system is one that has Dell OpenManage Client Instrumentation 
set up on a network that uses IT Assistant. For information about Dell 
OpenManage Client Instrumentation, see the Dell OpenManage Client 
Instrumentation User’s Guide available on the Dell Support website at 
support.dell.com.
Power Management
Your computer can be set to use less power when you are not working. You 
control the power usage through the operating system installed on your 
computer and certain option settings in System Setup. Such periods of 
reduced power are called sleep states.
Standby (Windows XP): Power is reduced or turned off for most 
components, including the cooling fans; however, system memory remains 
active.
Sleep (Windows Vista): Reduces power consumption to a minimum by 
writing all data in system memory to a hard drive, and then turning off 
power for most components. Writing the date to a hard drive ensures that 
data is not lost if the computer loses power; however, system memory 
remains active to increase the restart time for the computer.
Hibernate: Reduces power consumption to a minimum by writing all data 
in system memory to a hard drive, and then removing system power. 
Waking the computer from Hibernate restarts the computer, and restores 
the data stored in system memory. The computer then returns to the 
operating state it was in prior to entering hibernation mode.
