DMI BIOS The BIOS (basic input output system) of your computer supports an interface called DMI (Desktop Management Interface). DMI is software used to gather information about the hardware and software in your computer so that network administrators can remotely monitor and control your computer. DMI can be used to remotely track many types of information about networked computers, including serial numbers, memory attributes, product-specific characteristics of installed peripherals, and operating system configuration information. This information can be accessed using a DMI browser. DMI browsers are provided by all major operating systems and all major LAN management packages (including TME 10 Netfinity, and Intel LANDesk). System-Management Controller Your computer is equipped with a system-management controller (LM80) integrated with the system board. This controller provides hardware monitoring for system-board temperatures, fan speed, power supply and processor voltages, and the detection of the removal of the computer cover (see Chassis-Intrusion Detector). Used with the DMI BIOS of the computer, the system-monitor controller can also store the hardware test results from the power-on self-test (POST). Computers with preinstalled software can use this feature with the IBM PC System Monitor software provided with the preinstalled software. Also, to view the system monitor information, use the Netfinity DMI browser that is provided with your preinstalled software. For information on these software features, see About Your Software. DMI Information The BIOS (basic input output system) of your computer supports the Desktop Management Interface (DMI). DMI provides an industry-standard mechanism for gathering system information so network administrators can remotely monitor and control hardware and software components. DMI might be compared to with other management interfaces such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). DMI has the advantage of being supported across all major operating systems and by all major network-management packages, including TME 10 Netfinity and Intel LANDesk Client Manager. Built-in Network Protocols Networking features such as remote program load (RPL) and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) help a network administrator control your computer remotely. The integrated Ethernet supports both of these features. 30 Using Your IntelliStation E Pro
Contact your network administrator to determine how your computer should be configured for your specific network environment. Asset ID Capability For the latest information on personal computer security features, visit the IBM Asset ID home page at: http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/desktop/assetid IBM provides the basis for Asset ID 1 support in your computer. Asset ID provides the capability to access information about your computer that is stored in an EEPROM module on the system board using a radio-frequency-enabled portable scanner. The Asset ID EEPROM contains pre-recorded information about the system, including its configuration and the serial numbers of key components. The Asset ID EEPROM also includes a number of blank fields you can record with your choice of user information. The Asset ID can be scanned from a short distance. The scanning of the Asset ID does not require the computer cover to be removed or even require the computer being removed from the box it is shipped in. This type of wireless tracking enables quicker system deployment and improved asset control. Remote Administration The system programs (POST/BIOS) of your computer can be updated remotely across a network. A setting in the Configuration/Setup Utility program allows you to enable the computer for remote administration. See “Setting Remote Administration” on page 56. IBM System Management Tools IBM System Management Tools are provided on the Ready-to-Configure Utility Program CD that comes with your computer. If your computer comes with IBM-preinstalled software, IBM System Management Tools are also provided in a ready-to-install form on the hard disk. The IBM System Management Tools package includes the following components: � Desktop Management Interface (DMI) Service Provider 2.0 1 Asset ID allows your personal computer to be scanned by various radio frequency-emitting devices supplied by independent companies. Asset ID is intended for use only with radio frequency equipment that meets ANSI/IEEE C95.1 1991 RF Radiation Limits. Chapter 4. Operating Your Computer 31
