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.

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.

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 different 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 the adm ini strator version has the ability to gather in form ation about remote PCs, as w ell 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 memo ry 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
