System management August 3, 2006 System management This section describes the types of system management available with the SurePOS 500 Models 5x3 and 544/564. System management programs The SurePOS 500 Models 5x3 and 544/564 supports the following system and power management programs: Desktop Management Interface The SurePOS 500 Series supports System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) 2.3, supporting a DMI-compliant agent such as Tivoli®. This allows access to low-level information. Examples of information that can be accessed are the BIOS level, processor type, speed, manufacturer, system-board information, and detailed memory information. 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 OSs, 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.
