3.4 BIOS
The BIOS on the TI6NLM 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.

Auto Configure DRAM Timing
Use this option to specify the timing on the memory bus. The default
setting is Enabled.
EDO DRAM Speed
This specifies the RAS access speed of the SIMMs installed on the
motherboard as system memory. The settings are 60ns and 70ns. The
default setting is 60ns.
EDO Read Burst Timing
This sets the timing for burst mode reads from different DRAMs
(BEDO/EDO/FP). Burst read and write requests are generated by the
CPU in four separate parts. The first part provides the location within
the DRAM where the read or write is to take place while the remaining
three parts provide the actual data. The lower the timing numbers, the
faster the system will address memory.
EDO Write Burst Timing
This sets the timing for burst mode writes from DRAM. Burst read and
write requests are generated by the CPU in four separate parts. The first
part provides the location within the DRAM where the read or write is
to take place while the remaining three parts provide the actual data.
The lower the timing numbers, the faster the system will address
memory.
Chapter 6 BIOS and System Setup
MA Wait State
This option sets the wait state of the memory address. The settings are
Fast and Slow. By default, it is set to Fast.
SDRAM RAS to CAS Delay
When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed
separately. This field allows you to determine the timing of the
transition from Row Address Strobe (RAS) to Column Address Strobe
(CAS). By default, it is set to 2 clocks.
SDRAM CAS Latency
This option sets the CAS latency of the SDRAM. The higher the speed,
the better quality the performance of the SDRAM. The default setting
is 3 clocks.
SDRAM RAS Precharge Time
DRAM must continuously be refreshed or it will loose its data. This
option allows you to determine the number of CPU clocks allocated for
Row Address Strobe to accumulate its charge before DRAM is
refreshed. If the refreshed time is not enough, refresh may be
incomplete and data will be lost.
DRAM Integrity Mode
This option allows software configurability of selecting between ECC
(error checking and correction) mode, EC only or Non-ECC. The
default setting is Non-ECC.
Fixed Memory Hole
Enabling this feature reserves (15MB to 16MB or 512KB to 640KB)
memory address space to ISA expansion cards that specifically require
this setting. This makes the memory from 15MB or 512MB and up
unavailable to the system. Expansion cards can only access memory up
to 16MB. The default setting is Disabled..
CPU To PCI IDE Posting
When enabled, the CPU to PCI IDE posting cycles are treated as
normal I/O write transactions. The default setting is Enabled.
Chapter 6 BIOS and System Setup
USWC Write I/O Post
The setting of Enabled allows USWC write posting during I/O bridge
access. The default setting is Disabled.
AGP Aperture Size
The settings for this options are 4MB, 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB,
128MB and 2566MB. The default setting is 64MB.
PIIX4 Delayed Transaction

LANDesk is a registered trademark of Intel Corporation.
83 TI6NLM Pentium II All-In-One ATX Motherboard User’s Manual
Chapter 9 LANDesk User’s Guide
9.1 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 implemented 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 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.
To use LDCM, your computer must meet the following requirements:
l Operating System: Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, or Windows
NT4.0
l Memory: about 200KB
l Disk Storage Space: 3-5MB
l Hardware System: a DMI BIOS is required for full LDCM
functionality
For network computers, the following requirements also apply:
l Protocols: IPX or IP (WinSock-enabled) communication protocol
loaded on the client
l Hardware Interfaces: a network card for communication on the
network
