Chapter 1: Introduction

System Resource Alert

This feature is available when used with Intel's LANDesk Client Manager (optional). LDCM is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, if the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insuf- ficient hard drive space for saving the data, you can be alerted of the potential problem.

Hardware BIOS Virus Protection

The system BIOS is protected by hardware that prevents viruses from infecting the BIOS area. The user can only change the BIOS content through the flash utility provided by Supermicro. This feature can prevent viruses from infecting the BIOS area and destroying valuable data.

Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core

The auto-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to 20A current and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 1.4V to 3.5V. This will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable.

1-5 ACPI Features

ACPI stands for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that pro- vides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its hardware, operating system and application soft- ware. This enables the system to automatically turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives and printers. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs, TVs, tele- phones and stereos.

In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an oper- ating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI lever- ages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with both Win- dows 2000 and Windows NT 5.0.
