4-8 Managing System Resources
Client Manager can be used to “get” attribute information on system
components. It can also be used to “set” attribute values in real time.
Monitoring Capabilities
Your system has a chip mounted on the system board that supports many
new and advanced real-time monitoring capabilities used by DMI. This
chip provides the following features:
!
an integrated temperature sensor with configurable interrupt
generation based on upper and lower temperature limits
!
a power supply monitor with configurable interrupt generation based
on upper and lower voltage limits
!
chassis intrusion detection with interrupt generation capabilities.
To take advantage of these features, DMI has expanded its interface in the
following areas:
!
Interrupts may be enabled or disabled.
!
High and low limits can be set and are displayed for temperature and
power supply voltages.
!
Current readings are displayed for temperature, power supply
voltages, and chassis state.
!
Interrupts can be detected when “out of range” conditions occur. User
prompts are displayed to alert the user to a potentially harmful
condition.
Using the Chassis Intrusion Notification Feature
LANDesk Client Manager allows you to monitor your system against
chassis intrusion. Whenever the chassis is opened, LANDesk Client
Manager logs the intrusion and reports the incident in a screen message
the next time the system is booted. The message appears in a LANDesk
Client Manager Notification window. This window appears every time
the system is rebooted until the report is cleared.
Close the notification window to remove the message from the screen.
Clear the message to prevent it from appearing again the next time the
system is rebooted.
