System Configuration 2-33
DMI
As a part of the LANDesk Client Manager, the Desktop Management Interface
(DMI) is the standard interface used to manage system components on the
computer. Examples of system components are network interface cards and
software applications. System components provide a Management Information
Format (MIF) file to be DMI-compliant. The information file describes
component attributes that can be managed.
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
The 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 monitoring of the 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.
