Management Driver
Sets to Present: the system-management instrumentation sets this attribute when it loads to instruct that BIOS that operating-system level software is handling
any out-of-range management condition — if a critical threshold is passed, the driver takes responsibility for shutting down the operating system and powering-off
the system. The instrumentation is responsible for de-registering itself via the Absent attribute when it unloads. Implementation Note: To maintain compatibility
with Dell OpenManage Client, a BIOS that implements of this token via an Indexed I/O access method must ensure that an AND-mask of 0xFB and an OR-value of
0x04 maintains the “present” status— i.e. the status is in bit 2 of the indexed I/O location.
Sets to Absent: this attribute indicates to the system BIOS that any system-management monitoring is its responsibility. If an out-of-range management condition
occurs in the system, the BIOS powers off the system to prevent hardware damage. Implementation Note: To maintain compatibility with Dell OpenManage Client,
a BIOS that implements of this token via an Indexed I/O access method must ensure that an AND-mask of 0xFB and an OR-value of 0x00 maintains the “absent”
status — i.e. the status is in bit 2 of the indexed I/O location.
