Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently and effectively protect a computer system which is being shipped by disabling the use at a shipping point through an RFID(radio frequency discrimination) interface and enabling the use at a reception point. SOLUTION: A chassis 19 has a base and a rear panel 17 and has an open bay 22 sectioned so as to receive a data storage device such as a disk drive 23. An antenna 109 is fitted extending to outside the computer 12 so as to gather radiations having predefinition characteristics. The antenna 109 allows supply to the computer system through the RFID interface 59 showing the radiations having the predefinition characteristics nearby the computer system. The computer system is made unusable at the shipping point through this RFID interface 59 and usable at the reception point through the RFID interface 59 to enhance the security in the transportation.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a data processing system and its method, by which a server distantly performs access to property information of a client even in a power-off state in the client. SOLUTION: The client 104 is connected to the server 100 with a network. Property information is stored in a storage device in the specified client. Property information includes information for identifying a plurality of components of the client. The server 100 transmits a message to the client in the case of power-off in the client 104. A network adaptor is included in the client. During power-off in the client, the network adaptor performs access to the storage device and obtains property information.
