Using System-Management Features This section is intended primarily for network administrators. It describes features of your computer that make it possible for a network administrator to remotely manage and control your PC when it is linked to a network. The BIOS (basic input output system) of your computer supports an interface called DMI (Desktop Management Interface). DMI is software used to gather information about the hardware and software in your computer so that network administrators can remotely monitor and control your PC. DMI can be used to remotely track many types of information about networked PCs, including serial numbers, memory attributes, product-specific characteristics of installed peripherals, and operating system configuration information. This information can be accessed using a DMI browser. DMI browsers are provided by all major operating systems and all major LAN management packages (including NetFinity, Intel LAN Desk, and Microsoft SMS). Your computer also has system-management hardware and software that provides power, temperature, fan speed, and chassis-intrusion information that is accessible from a DMI browser. The Wake on LAN feature can be used by a network administrator to turn on your PC remotely from a management console. When Wake on LAN is used in conjunction with network-management software, such as NetFinity Version 4 Chapter 3. Operating Your Personal Computer 27
