3.4 BIOS  
The BIOS on the TI5VG motherboard provides the standard BIOS  
functions plus the following additional features:  
1. DMI (Desktop Management Interface)  
The motherboard supports DMI to enable computer system management  
in an enterprise.  
2. ISA Plug and Play (PnP) Extension  
Unlike PCI cards which are plug and play, ISA cards require setting  
jumpers to resolve hardware conflicts. To make a computer system PnP,  
an ISA PnP standard is established and supported by new OSes, such as  
Windows 95. Under Windows 95, the motherboard BIOS must have ISA  
PnP extension to support the new ISA PnP cards.

Chapter 3 Hardware Description  
3. Power Management  
The power management feature provides power savings by slowing down  
the CPU clock, turning off the monitor screen and stopping the HDD  
spindle motor.  
3.5 Onboard PCI EIDE  
The PCI EIDE controller is part of the VP3 chipset. It supports PIO mode  
3/4 and bus mastering . The peak transfer rate of PIO mode 3/4 can be as  
high as 17MB/sec. Using HDDs that support bus mastering, the peak  
transfer rate can reach 22MB/sec. There are two IDE connectors, primary  
IDE and secondary IDE. With two devices per connector, up to four IDE  
drives are supported. The VP3 also supports Ultra DMA/33, a new  
“synchronous DMA” protocol for faster data transfers.  
3.6 Onboard Multi-I/O  
The onboard multi-I/O chip, Winbond W83877, supports two 16550  
UART-compatible serial ports, one high speed EPP/ECP parallel port  
and one floppy controller. The floppy controller supports 2.88MB  
format. The I/O port addresses of the serial and parallel ports are  
programmable via BIOS set-up.  
3.7 Optional Hardware Monitoring Device (LM78)  
The LM78 is a data acquisition system for the hardware monitoring of the  
PC and is used to monitor power supply voltages, temperatures and fan  
speeds. It has an on-chip temperature sensor and also features Chassis  
Intrusion Input. The LM78 is compatible with the optional LDCM  
(LANDesk Client Manager) software from Intel.

Chapter 6 BIOS Configuration  
6.1 BIOS Introduction  
The Award BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) installed in your  
computer system’s ROM supports Intel/Cyrix/AMD processors in a  
standard IBM-AT compatible I/O system. The BIOS provides critical  
low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives, serial and  
parallel ports. It also adds virus and password protection as well as  
special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling the  
entire system.  
6.2 BIOS Setup  
The Award BIOS provides a Setup utility program for specifying the  
system configurations and settings. The BIOS ROM of the system stores  
the Setup utility. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is  
immediately activated. Pressing the <Del> key immediately allows you  
to enter the Setup utility. If you are a little bit late pressing the <Del> key,  
POST(Power On Self Test) will continue with its test routines, thus  
preventing you from invoking the Setup. If you still wish to enter Setup,  
restart the system by pressing the ”Reset” button or simultaneously  
pressing the <Ctrl>, <Alt> and <Delete> keys. You can also restart by  
turning the system Off and back On again. The following message will  
appear on the screen:  
Press <DEL> to Enter Setup  
In general, you press the arrow keys to highlight items, <Enter> to select,  
the <PgUp> and <PgDn> keys to change entries, <F1> for help and  
<Esc> to quit.  
When you enter the Setup utility, the Main Menu screen will appear on  
the screen. The Main Menu allows you to select from various setup  
functions and exit choices.

NOTE: After making and saving system changes with Setup, you find  
that your computer cannot boot, the Award BIOS supports an  
override to the CMOS settings that resets your system to its  
default.  
We strongly recommend that you avoid making any changes to  
the chipset defaults. These defaults have been carefully chosen  
by both Award and your system manufacturer to provide the  
absolute maximum performance and reliability.

Standard CMOS Setupchoice allows you to record some basic  
hardware configurations in your computer system and set the system  
clock and error handling. If the motherboard is already installed in a  
working system, you will not need to select this option. You will need to  
run the Standard CMOS option, however, if you change your system  
hardware configurations, the onboard battery fails, or the configuration  
stored in the CMOS memory was lost or damaged.

PM Events  
The VGA, LPT & COM, HDD & FDD, DMA /master, Modem Ring  
Resume, RTC Alarm Resume and Primary INTR section are I/O events  
which can prevent the system from entering a power saving mode or can  
awaken the system from such a mode. When an I/O device wants to gain  
the attention of the operating system, it signals this by causing an IRQ to  
occur. When the operating system is ready to respond to the request, it  
interrupts itself and performs the service. The default value is Off. When  
set On, activity will neither prevent the system from going into a power  
management mode nor awaken it. The IRQ section sets the wake-up call  
of the system. If activity is detected from any enabled IRQ channels in the  
left-hand group, the system wakes up from suspended mode.

password that will be used to protect the system and Setup utility. User  
Password sets a password that will be used exclusively on the system. To  
specify a password, highlight the type you want and press <Enter>. The  
Enter Password: message prompts on the screen. Type the password, up  
to eight characters in length, and press <Enter>. The system confirms  
your password by asking you to type it again. After setting a password,  
the screen automatically returns to the main screen.  
To disable a password, just press the <Enter> key when you are prompted  
to enter the password. A message will confirm the password to be  
disabled. Once the password is disabled, the system will boot and you can  
enter Setup freely.

Chapter 7 LANDesk User Guide  
This chapter gives a brief introduction to LANDesk Client Manager  
(LDCM), as well as the installation procedures. The LDCM software  
comes with your package only when your motherboard supports the  
LM78 hardware monitoring device.  
The following items are covered in this chapter:  
7.1 Introduction...............................................................................57  
7.2 Installation.................................................................................58  
7.2.1 Installing LANDesk Client Manager.........................59  
7.2.2 Install LANDesk Administrator Manager..................62

7.1 Introduction  
LANDesk Client Manager (LDCM) provides the capability for managing  
components (network interface cards, memory, printers, software  
applications, etc.) within a PC system. It uses the Desktop Management  
Interface (DMI) standard established by the Desktop Management Task  
Force (DMTF). Manageable components can be viewed, monitored, and  
administrated across multiple platforms, either locally or remotely on a  
network.  
The LDCM package has been implemented in two different ways: a user  
(client) version and an administrative version (Remote Companion). The  
user version provides the ability to only manage the local PC. The  
administrative version allows a network administrator to manage the  
local PC and other PC nodes on the network. This means that the  
administrative version has the ability to gather information about remote  
PCs, as well as remotely controlling the PCs. The remote access is based  
upon granted rights by the managed client.  
LDCM provides the user with self-help diagnostics, including a PC  
health meter, local alerting of potential problems, and hardware and  
software inventory. Automatic polling and alerting of memory and  
hardware conditions and predictive failure mechanisms minimize  
downtime and increase effective troubleshooting. LDCM can take  
periodic “snapshots” of critical configuration files for easy change  
management and restoration when needed.
