Security
The user may enter up to 8 standard text characters for a password. The password includes
two levels. The higher priority is the Supervisor Password. The lower priority is the User Password.
The Supervisor Password can access all the system resource, while the User Password may not
access the floppy disk when it is protected by Supervisor Password. When the security function is
enabled, the system will request the user to enter password during the following situation.
I.

or STD mode. If the user keys in the wrong password for 3 times, the system will not
resume and should return to Suspend mode again.
III.

entering the CMOS Setup. If the user keys in the wrong password for 3 times, then the

up to 33MHz.
Clock Throttling
–
South bridge function that allows the CPU clock to be stopped and started
at a known duty cycle using the STPCLK# pin to enter and exit Stop Grant mode. Clock throttling
is used for power saving, thermal management, and reducing the processing speed.
DIMM (SODIMM) -
Dual In-line Memory Module, a small circuit board that holds memory chips.
A Single In-line Memory Module (SIMM) has a 32-bit path to the memory chips whereas a DIMM
has 64-bit path. Because the Pentium processor requires a 64-bit path to memory, you need to
install SIMMs two at a time. With DIMMs, you can install one DIMM at a time. SODIMM is Small
Outline Dual In-line Memory Module used in notebook computers.
DMI -
Desktop Management Interface, an API to enable software to collect information about a
computer environment about a computer environment. For example, using DMI a program can
