SurePOS 500 4846-XX5 Technical Reference

RDM (Remote Deployment Manager) and IBM Director.

RDM can install an OS and update BIOS remotely and probe machines for low-level information. IBM Director can remotely configure applications and operating systems, transfer files, and inventory workstations on a network.

APM

APM consists of several layers of software that allow the operating system, applications, and BIOS to work together to reduce power consumption. APM is supported on DOS and Linux platforms.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) V1.0 defines a hardware and software interface and tables by which the operating system can alter the characteristics of the hardware-specific devices. ACPI is supported on Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Power up on LAN

This feature enables the system to power on when it receives a specific frame over the local area network (LAN) through the 10/100-Mbps Ethernet feature. You can enable power up (wake) on LAN by enabling Wake on LAN in the CMOS Setup Utility program.

Power up (wake) on daily alarm

This feature enables the system to turn on at the same time every day. You can enable power up (wake) on daily alarm by enabling Wake on Alarm in the CMOS Setup Utility program.
