Your computer is designed for manageability, so that you can
redirect more of your resources to better meet your business
objectives. This manageability, or “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO),
enables you or your network administrator to remotely power on your
computer, format the hard disk drive, install the software of your
choice (for example, Windows 95, Windows NT, or OS/2 Warp with
user and system-management applications), and have the computer
start up and function the same as an ordinary desktop PC. Once the
computer is configured and operational, you achieve ongoing
management through software and manageability features already
integrated into the client system and on the network.
