8.4 Client Management Functions

Table 8-2 provides a partial list of the client management BIOS functions supported by the systems covered in this guide. These functions, designed to support intelligent manageability applications, are HP-specific unless otherwise indicated.

Table 8-2.

E813h	Get monitor data	Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot.
E814h	Get system revision	Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot.
E816h	Get temperature status	Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot.
E819h	Get chassis serial number	Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot.
E820h [1] Get system memory map		Real
E81Ah	Write chassis serial number	Real
E827h	DIMM EEPROM Access	Real, 16-, & 32-bit Prot.
NOTE:

[1] Industry standard function.

All 32-bit protected-mode functions are accessed by using the industry-standard BIOS32 Service Directory. Using the service directory involves three steps:

1.Locating the service directory.

2.Using the service directory to obtain the entry point for the client management functions.

3.Calling the client management service to perform the desired function.

The BIOS32 Service Directory is a 16-byte block that begins on a 16-byte boundary between the physical address range of 0E0000h-0FFFFFh.

The following subsections provide a brief description of key Client Management functions.
