Technical Specifications

 

ALERTED - excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid

 

shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown

 

SHUTDOWN - excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer

 

without warning before hardware component damage occurs

Remote ROM Flash

Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console

Remote

System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote

Wakeup/Shutdown

location.

 

Enables cost-effective power consumption when the administrator needs to distribute software,

 

perform security management, or update the ROM

ACPI

Allows the system to enter and wake from a low power mode

(Advanced Configuration

Controls system power consumption, making it possible to place individual cards and peripherals

and Power Interface)

in a low-power or powered-off state without affecting other elements of the system

 

Supports ACPI 2.0 for full compatibility with 64-Bit operating system

Keyboard-less Operation

The system can be operated without a keyboard

SMBIOS

System Management BIOS 2.5, previously known as DMI BIOS, for system management information

Localized ROM Setup

Common BIOS image supports configuration (Setup) in 12 languages, with local keyboard mappings

Asset Tag

Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM

Ownership Tag

Allows user or MIS to set unique tag string in ROM

Memory Scrubbing

Allows memory controller to transparently correct transient ECC errors in the background

Memory Remapping

Allows system memory lost to PCI devices to be reclaimed above 4 GB, for use with operating systems

 

that support more than 4 GB (Microsoft Windows XP 64-Bit edition, Linux)

Per-slot Control

Allows individual slot configuration (option ROM., latency)

Adaptive Cooling

Fan control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics

Pre-boot Diagnostics

Early (pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED
