Power Management
Power management on the NCR 7448 Workstation uses the Advanced Power
Management (APM) BIOS Interface Specification Revision 1.2 as defined by
Intel and Microsoft. The processor board is equipped with an APM BIOS.
The APM BIOS provides some degree of power management functionality
without any support from the operating system or application software.
An APM driver is better suited to make power management decisions for
unique peripherals than the BIOS, and can override most BIOS requests to go
into standby, suspend, etc.
Workstation power on/power off is controlled through a logical level power
switch on the Personality Board. It can be disabled through software.
Ethernet 10/100 Base-T LAN Communications
The workstation contains a 10/ 100 Base-T Ethernet PCI connection. Ethernet
100 Base-T is also known as “Fast Ethernet.” The Boot ROM for diskless boot
functionality is included in the 1MB system ROM. The hardware is compatible
with the TCP/IP, DHCP, and TFTP protocols required for remote boot of the
platform. Appropriate software must be used to enable each protocol used over
the Ethernet link.
