ALERTED - excessive temperatures are detected. Raises a flag so action can be taken to avoid
shutdown or provide for a smoother system shutdown.
SHUTDOWN - excessive temperatures are encountered. Automatically shuts down the computer
without warning before hardware component damage occurs.
Remote ROM Flash
Provides secure, fail-safe ROM image management from a central network console.
Updates can be performed before starting the OS.
Updates can be periodically scheduled.
ACPI
(Advanced
Configuration and Power
Management Interface)
Allows the system to enter and resume from low power modes (sleep states).
Enables an operating system to control system power consumption based on the dynamic workload.
Makes it possible to place individual cards and peripherals in a low-power or powered-off state without
affecting other elements of the system.
Supports ACPI 4.0 for full compatibility with 64-bit operating systems.
Ownership Tag
A user-defined string stored in non-volatile memory that is displayed in the BIOS splash screen.
Remote Wakeup/Remote
Shutdown
System administrators can power on, restart, and power off a client computer from a remote location.
ASF 2.0 Compliant
No.
Instantly Available PC
(Suspend to RAM - ACPI
sleep state S3)
Allows for very low power consumption with quick resume time.
Remote System
Installation via F12
(PXE
2.1) (Remote Boot from
Server)
Allows a new or existing system to boot over the network and download software, including the operating
system.
ROM revision levels
Reports the system BIOS revision level in Computer Configuration Utility (F10 Setup). Version is available
through an industry standard interface (SMBIOS) so that management SW applications can use and report
this information.
System board revision
level
Allows management SW to read revision level of the system board.
Revision level is digitally encoded into the HW and cannot be modified.
Start-up Diagnostics
(Power-on Self-Test)
Assesses system health at boot time with selectable levels of testing.
Auto Setup when new
hardware installed
System automatically detects addition of new hardware.
Keyboard-less Operation
The system can be booted without a keyboard.
Localized ROM Setup
Common BIOS image supports System Configuration Utility (F10 Setup) menus in 12 languages with local
keyboard mappings.
Asset Tag
Enables the user or IT administrator to set a unique tag string in non-volatile memory.
Per-slot Control
Allows I/O slot parameters (option ROM enable/disable) to be configured individually.
Adaptive Cooling
Control parameters are set according to detected hardware configuration for optimal acoustics.
Pre-boot Diagnostics
(Pre-video) critical errors are reported via beeps and blinks on the power LED.
Intel® Active Management
Technology
(AMT)
AMT 9.0; Allows workstation status to be monitored on a remote console
Digitally and
Cryptographically Signed
BIOS
Helps to prevent the installation of unauthorized versions of a BIOS (a rogue BIOS) from a virus, malware,
or other code that could lead to compromised system security, data access, physical service, or even
system board replacement.
