functions plus the following additional features:
1. DMI (Desktop Management Interface)
The motherboard supports D MI to en abl e computer system management
in an enterprise.
2. ISA Plug and Play (PnP ) Extension
Unlike PCI cards which are plug and play, ISA cards require setting
jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts. To make a computer system PnP,
an ISA PnP standard is established and supported by new OSes, such as
Windows 95. Un der Window s 95, th e mot herboard BIOS mu st have ISA
PnP extension to support the new ISA PnP cards.
3. Power Management
The power management feature provides power savings by slowing down
the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the HDD
spindle motor.

The PCI EIDE controller is part of the MVP3 chipset. It supports PIO
mode 3/4 and bus m as terin g. The peak t rans fer rate of PIO mode 3/4 can
be as high as 17MB/sec. Using HDDs that support bus mastering, the
peak transfer rate can reach 22MB/sec. There are two IDE connectors,
primary IDE and secondary IDE. With two devices per connector, up to
four IDE drives are supported. The MVP3 also supports Ultra DMA/33,
a new “synchronous DMA” protocol for faster data transfers.
3.6 Onboard Multi-I/O
The onboard multi-I/O chip, Winbond W83877, supports two 16550
UART-compatible serial ports, one high speed EPP/ECP parallel port
and one floppy controller. The floppy controller supports 2.88MB
format. The I/O port addresses of the serial and parallel ports are
programmable via BIOS set-up.

Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration
6.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer system’s ROM supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical
low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial and
parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as
special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the
entire system.
6.2 BIOS Setup
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the
system conf ig u ration s an d s ettin g s. The BIOS ROM of th e system stores
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you
to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing th e <Del> key,
POST(Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will
appear on the screen:
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change e nt ries, <F1> for help and
<Esc> to quit.
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup
functions and exit choices.

NOTE: After making and saving system changes with Setup, you find
that your computer cannot boot, the Award BIOS supports an
override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its
default.
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to
the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen
by both Award and your system manufacturer to provide the
absolute maximum performance and reliability.

Chapter 7 LANDesk User’s Guide
7.1 Introduction
LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM 3.1) provides the capability for
managing components (network interface cards, memory, printers,
software applications, etc.) within a PC system. It uses the Desktop
Management Interface (DMI) standard established by the Desktop
Management Task Force (DMTF). Manageable components can be
viewed, monitored, and administrated across multiple platforms, either
locally or remotely on a network.
The LDCM package has been im plemented in two differen t ways: a user
(client/local) version and an administrator version (Remote Companion).
The user version provides the ability to only manage the local PC. The
administrator version allows a netw ork administrator to manage the local
PC and other PC n odes on th e netw ork. This m eans that th e admin istrator
version has the ability to gath er inform ation about rem ote PCs, as well as
remotely controlling the PCs. The remote access is based upon granted
rights by the managed cli ent.
LDCM provides the user with self-help diagnostics, including a PC
health meter, local alerting of potential problems, and hardware and
software inventory. Automatic polling and alerting of memory and
hardware conditions and predictive failure mechanisms minimize
downtime and increase effective troubleshooting. LDCM can take
periodic “snapshots” of critical configuration files for easy change
management and restoration when needed.
To use LDCM, your computer must meet the following requirements:
z
Operating System: Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, or Windows
NT4.0
z
Memory: about 200KB
z
Disk Storage Space: 3-5MB
z
Hardware System: a DMI BIOS is required for full LDCM
functionality
For network computers, the following requirements also apply:
z
Protocols: IPX or IP (WinSock-enabled) communication protocol
loaded on the client
z
Hardware Interfaces: a network card for communication on the
network
