Network device drivers for several network operating systems. These drivers are described in "Using the Network Interface Controller".

Desktop Management Interface (DMI) support for managing the computer system. DMI defines the software, interfaces, and data files that enable the system to determine and report information about system components.

If the system has a Dell-installed Microsoft Windows or Microsoft Windows NT operating system, DMI is already installed on the system's hard-disk drive. To learn more about DMI, double-click the Dell DMI Help icon in the Dell DMI folder under the Start button.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) for operating systems that support ACPI functionality.

The Dell OpenManage Client Administrator/Client program, which is available in administrator and client versions.

Dell OpenManage™ Client Administrator is the Dell software-management application interface for DMI. Dell OpenManage Administrator is designed for network administrators to remotely manage connected Dell Precision 610 systems in a Dell DMI client network.

Features of Dell OpenManage Client Administrator include:

-Compliance with the DMI 2.0 specification

-Remote Flash BIOS support that enables you to perform BIOS updates on remote systems in a Dell DMI client network

-Wakeup On LAN support that allows you to remotely turn on Dell systems with Wakeup On LAN capabilities in a Dell DMI client network

-Password security that allows you to maintain standard attribute values and hardware configuration settings for the local and remote systems in a Dell DMI client network

-A System Properties window that allows you to view, set, and disable certain hardware configuration settings for the local and remote systems in a Dell DMI client network

-An Alert Settings window that enables you to monitor remote systems, set thresholds, and detect events for the local system or remote system in a Dell DMI client network

-Support for the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS), which allows you to export one or more groups to an SMS directory that the SMS administrator can access

-Automated mapping of one or more groups to a user-defined directory
