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 rations an d s etting s . The BIOS ROM of the 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 the <Del> k ey,
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> a nd <PgDn> keys to change entries, <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.

highlighted item in the list.
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.

6.3 Standard CMOS Setup
“Standard CMOS Setup” choice allows you to record some basic
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system
clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a
working system , you will not need to select this option. You will need to
run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you cha nge your system

PM Events
The VGA, LPT & COM, HDD & FDD, DMA /master, Modem Ring
Resume, RTC Alarm Resume and Primary INTR section are I/O events
which can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can
awaken the sy s tem from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to gain
the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to
occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it
interrupts itself and performs the service. The default value is
Off
. When
set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power
management mode nor awaken it. The IRQ section sets the wake-up call
of the system. If activity is detected from any enabled IRQ channels in the
left-hand group, the system wakes up from suspended mode.

Chapter 7 LANDesk User Guide
This chapter gives a brief introduction to LANDesk Client Manager
(LDCM), as well as the installation procedures.
The LDCM software
comes with your package only when your motherboard supports the
LM78 hardware monitoring device.
The following items are covered in this chapter:
7.1 Introduction...............................................................................57
7.2 Installation.................................................................................58

Chapter 7 LANDesk User Guide
TI5VG Pentium VP3 ATX Motherboard User’s Manual 57
7.1 Introduction
LANDesk Client Manag er (LDCM) provides the capability for m anaging
components (netwo rk 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 vi ewed, monitored, and
administrated across multiple platforms, either locally or remotely on a
network.
The LDCM package has been im plemented in two different ways: a user
(client) version and an adm in istrativ e vers ion (Rem ote C ompan ion). The
user version provides the ability to only manage the local PC. The
administrative vers ion allows a network administrato r to manage the
local PC and other PC nodes on the network. This means that the
administrative version has the ability to gather information about remote
PCs, as well as remotely controlling the PCs. The remote access is based
upon granted rights by the managed client.
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.
