Alert Standard Format (ASF) is a Distributed Management Task Force (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

Your computer supports the following ASF alerts and remote capabilities:
For more information about Dell's ASF implementation, see ASF for Dell Portable Computers and the ASF Administrator's Guide for Dell Portable Computers, which
