IBM ThinkPad 600E System Kit For Rfid - 05K5855
Hi Folks,
I saw in maintenance manual for the thinkpad 600e that there's an option for this:
IBM ThinkPad 600E System Kit For Rfid - 05K5855
- I am wondering, what's the deal with this kit ? - What's its main purpose or usage ? - What does IBM do with it ? - Has anyone some information on this topic ?
I haven't found any useful information yet... only a hint in the maintenace manual or in some shops, like [1]
Seems to be an RFID-Tag ... Why is it connected to the mainboard ? Is it to track thinkpads in buildings, or what ?
Any Hints ?
bye alvinx
I think it's to track machines whereabouts. In the 600X BIOS, you can enable or disable the security and "gate" features. Building security systems can monitor which laptops go through a gate and set off an alarm for prohibited machines. I'd bet not too many companies can sell laptops to very secure facilities. - Whizkid 00:36, 13 Sep 2005 (CEST)
