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
The system has a chip mounted on the system board that supports many
new and advanced real-time monitoring capabilities used by DMI. The
chip provides the following features:
an integrated temperature sensor with configurable interrupt
!
generation based on upper and lower temperature limits
a power supply monitor with configurable interrupt generation based
!
on upper and lower voltage limits.
To take advantage of these features, DMI has expanded its interface in the
following areas.
Interrupts may be enabled or disabled.
!
High and low limits can be set and are displayed for temperature and
!
power supply voltages.
Current readings are displayed for temperature and power supply
!
voltages.
