Description Description Description Description
Allows for very low power consumption with quick resume time
Review and customize BIOS settings
Allows a new or existing system to boot over the network and download software, including the operating system
Recovers corrupted system BIOS
Identifies system ROM revision levels and reports in ROM-based F10 setup
Version is stored in an industry standard memory location (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications can use
and report this information
Allows management SW to read the revision level of the system board
Revision level is digitally encoded into the hardware and cannot be modified
System automatically detects addition of new hardware
Enable or disables serial, parallel, USB, audio, and network ports
Prevents ability to boot from removable media on supported devices (and can disable writes to media)
Prevents an unauthorized person from booting up the computer
Prevents an unauthorized person from changing the system configuration
Saves BIOS settings to diskette or USB disk-on-key in human readable file. Repset.exe utility can then replicate these settings
on machines being deployed without entering ROM-based F10 setup
Alerts management console if memory is removed or changed
Monitors the temperature state within the chassis. Three modes:
NORMAL – normal temperature ranges
ALERTED – excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid shutdown or provide
for a smoother system shutdown
SHUTDOWN – excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer without warning
before hardware component damage occurs
Detects changes to MBR and optional restoration, useful in protecting from viruses
Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console
System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location.
Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute software, perform security
management, or update the ROM
Allows the system to wake from a low power mode
Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low-power or
powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system
Supports ACPI 2.0 for full compatibility with 64-bit operating systems
The system can be operated without a keyboard
System Management BIOS 2.3.5, previously known as DMI BIOS, for system management information
Common BIOS image supports configuration (Setup) in 11 languages, with local keyboard mappings
Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM
Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM
Allows memory controller to transparently correct transient ECC errors in the background
Allows system memory lost to PCI devices to be reclaimed above 4 GB, for use with operating systems that support more
than 4 GB (Windows XP 64-bit edition, Linux)
Allows individual slot configuration (option ROM., latency)
Fan control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics
Early (pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED
