DMI In a corporate environment, system manageability is an important
consideration. DMI (Desktop Management Interface) is a specification for a
standard method of storing and reporting system information. This
motherboard supports the DMI specification on the system BIOS level. DMI
detects and records system configuration information, including the CPU type
and speed, memory size and type, and much more information. DMI
maintains a local database of system configuration information that can be
accessed and even modified from a remote location.
The American Megatrends Client Care utility is also shipped with this
motherboard. Client Care allows you to display system information, run
diagnostic test, and display system environmental parameters such as the
CPU voltage, fan speed, and system voltage levels. See the American
Megatrends Client Care User's Guide for additional information.
Infrared This motherboard includes a 10-pin serial infrared connector. Infrared allows
bidirectional cordless data transactions with other IrDA-compliant computers
and peripheral devices. Infrared transmissions can occur in half-duplex
(sequential transmission/receiving) or full-duplex (simultaneous
transmission) modes.
A 10-pin infrared connector is provided on the motherboard. The
motherboard and AMIBIOS comply with the IrDA SIR infrared device
standards and specifications.
This motherboard complies fully with the IrDA infrared standards. An IrDA-
compliant device can be installed via a 9-pin D-type connector on the rear of
the computer. The 9-pin connector is attached by a cable to the IR berg
connector on the motherboard, next to the serial connectors (COM1 and
COM2). COM2 on the motherboard is an IrDA-compliant port.
