Chapter 3 Hardware Description
3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the AI6NL 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 feature provides power savings by slowing down the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the HDD spindle motor. The BIOS fully conforms to APM 1.2 specifications.
3.5 I/O Port Address Map
Each peripheral device in the system is assigned a set of I/O port addresses which also becomes the identity of the device. There is a total of 1K port address space available. The following table lists the I/O port addresses used on the motherboard.
Address Device Description
000h - 01Fh DMA Controller #1 020h - 03Fh Interrupt Controller #1 040h - 05Fh Timer 060h - 06Fh Keyboard Controller 070h - 07Fh Real Time Clock,, NMI 080h - 09Fh DMA Page Register 0A0h - 0BFh Interrupt Controller #2 0C0h - 0DFh DMA Controller #2 0F0h Clear Math Coprocessor Busy Signal 0F1h Reset Math Coprocessor 1F0h - 1F7h IDE Interface 2F8h - 2FFh Serial Port #2(COM2) 378h - 3FFh Parallel Port #1(LPT1) 3F0h - 3F7h Floppy Disk Controller 3F8h - 3FFh Serial Port #1(COM1)

7.1 Introduction
LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) 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 implemented in two different ways: a user (client) 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 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 napshotsof critical configuration files for easy change management and restoration when needed.
