Hardware Information

As data centers grow in size, it becomes difficult to keep track of all the equipment which the system uses. The Find Hardware Information display helps you find information about the hardware configured on the system. This information can help pinpoint potential security risks, such as DASD devices with removable media. You can control physical access to these devices. Also, you can use this information to verify billing information.
