Remote Administration A network administrator can use this feature to update remotely the POST and BIOS in your computer. Network management software, such as LANClient Control Manager, is required in order to take advantage of this feature. Refer to "Setting Remote Administration" on page 36 for configuration information. Using Video Features Your computer has a super video graphics array (SVGA) advanced graphics port (AGP) controller located on the system board. SVGA is a video standard for displaying text and graphic images on a monitor screen. Like other video standards, SVGA supports a variety of video modes. Video modes are different combinations of resolution, refresh rate, and color defined by a video standard for displaying text or graphics. For more information on video modes, refer to Understanding Your Personal Computer (provided on the Software Selections CD that comes with your computer). Video Device Drivers To take full advantage of the graphics adapter in your computer, some operating systems and application programs require custom software, known as video device drivers. These device drivers provide support for greater speed, higher resolution, more available colors, and flicker-free images. Device drivers for the graphics adapters and a README file with instructions for installing the device drivers are provided on the Software Selections CD that comes with your computer. If your computer has IBM-preinstalled software, video device drivers have already been installed on the hard disk. However, you can use the device driver installation instructions if you ever need to reinstall the device drivers; if you want to change video resolution, color depth, or monitor settings; or if you need information on obtaining and installing updated device drivers. See Chapter 9, "Getting help, service, and information" on page 121 for more information. 20 PC 300GL User Guide
