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
Your PowerMate computer has a chip mounted on the system board that
supports many new and advanced real-time monitoring capabilities used
by DMI. This 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
chassis intrusion detection with interrupt generation capabilities.
!
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.
