DMI

As a part of the LANDesk Client Manager, the Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) is the standard interface used to manage system components on the
computer. Examples of system components are network interface cards and
software applications. System components provide a Management Information
Format (MIF) file to be DMI-compliant. The information file describes
component attributes that can be managed.
Client Manager can be used to "get" attribute information on system
components. It can also be used to "set" attribute values in real time.

Monitoring Capabilities

An NEC MagicEye™ Technology chip on the system board supports many new
and advanced real-time monitoring capabilities used by DMI. The chip provides
the following:
T
an integrated temperature sensor with configurable interrupt generation
based on upper and lower temperature limits
T
a power supply monitor with configurable interrupt generation based on
upper and lower voltage limits
T
chassis intrusion detection with interrupt generation capabilities (see
"Using the Chassis Intrusion Notification Feature").
To take advantage of these features, DMI has expanded its interface in the
following areas.
T
Interrupts may be enabled or disabled.
T
High and low limits can be set and are displayed for temperature and
power supply voltages.
