3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the TI6NB+ motherboard provides the standard BIOS
functions plus the following additional features:
1. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension
Unlike PCI cards that 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
operating systems, such as Windows 95. Under Windows 95, the
motherboard BIOS must have an ISA PnP extension to support new
ISA PnP cards.
2. Power Management
The power management fea ture provides power sa vings by slowing
down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the
HDD spindle motor. The BIOS fully conforms to ACPI (Advanced
Configuration and Power Interface) specification.

6.1 BIOS Introduction
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your
computer sys tem’s ROM supports In tel Pentiu m II processors . The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for a standard device 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> and <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.

Virus Warning
This item protects the boot sector and partition table of your hard disk
against accidental modifications. If an attempt is made, the BIOS will
halt the system and display a warning message. If this occurs, you can
either allow the operation to continue or run an anti-virus program to
locate and remove the problem.
NOTE
:
Many disk diagnostic programs, which attempt to access the
boot sector table, can cause the virus warning. If you will run
such a program, disable the Virus Warning feature.
CPU Internal Cache / External Cache
Cache memory is additional memory that is much faster than
conventional DRAM (system memory). CPUs from 486-type on up
contain internal cache memory, and most, but not all, modern PCs have
additional (external) cache memory. When the CPU requests data, the
system transfers the requested data from the main DRAM into cache
memory, for even faster access by the CPU. These items allow you to
enable (speed up memory access) or disable the cache function. By
default, these items are
Enabled
.
CPU L2 Cache ECC Checking
Memory Parity / ECC Check
When enabled, this allows parity / ECC checking of the CPU’s L 2 cache.

8.1 Introduction
LANDesk Client Manager* 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 vi ewed, monitored, and
administrated across multiple platfo rms, 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 administrative version (Remote
Companion). The user version provides the ability to only manage the
local PC. The administrative version allows a network administrator to
manage the local PC and other PC nodes on the netw ork. This m eans 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.
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
* LDCM comes in version 3.11 ( for Windows 95) and version 3.3 (for
Windows NT).
