Hardware BIOS Virus Protection
The system BIOS is protected by hardware so that no virus can infect the
BIOS area. The user can only change the BIOS content through the flash
utility provided by SUPERMICRO. This feature can prevent viruses from
infecting the BIOS area and destroying valuable data.
Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core
The switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to 20A of
current, with auto-sensing voltage ID ranging from 1.8V to 3.5V. This will
allow the regulator to run cooler and makes the system more stable.

Client Manager (LDCM) Support
As the computer industry evolves, PC systems become more complex and
harder to manage. Historically, only experts have been able to fully under-
stand and control these complex systems. Today's users want manageable
systems that they can interact with automatically. Client Manager enables
both administrators and clients to:
• Review system inventory
• View DMI-compliant component information
• Back-up and restore system configuration files
• Troubleshoot
• Receive notification of system events
• Transfer files to and from client workstations
• Remotely reboot client workstations
