Appendix: SMDC Information Overview TYAN® Server Management Daughter Card (SMDC) is a powerful yet cost-efficient ® solution for high-end server management hardware packages. TYAN ’s goal is to provide remote system monitoring and control even when the operating system is absence or simply fails. This empowers TYAN®’s server board with advanced industrial-standard features. TYAN® SMDC is a snap-in card that provides essential server management solution.
Features of Tyan® Server Management Monitor various system components remotely - such as fans, processor temperature, and more Remote power on and power off Console redirect -the ability to view system remotely Alert and error actions -such as audible beep, e-mail, power down and reboot SMDC runs on stand-by power -the SMDC will continue to function, even if the system is not powered on How SMDC and TSO Work The brief descriptions below will help explain how these items function.
Glossary ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed to the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary power expenditure. AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications. The 32-bit AGP channel directly links the graphics controller to the main memory.
Bus: a data pathway. The term is used especially to refer to the connection between the processor and system memory, and between the processor and PCI or ISA local buses. Bus mastering: allows peripheral devices and IDEs to access the system memory without going through the CPU (similar to DMA channels). Cache: a temporary storage area for data that will be needed often by an application. Using a cache lowers data access times, since the needed information is stored in the SRAM instead of in the slow DRAM.
IRQs, it is vital that you do not double up devices on a single line. Plug-n-Play devices will take care of this for you. Doze mode: in this mode, only the CPU’s speed is slowed. DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which has the unfortunate tendency to lose data if it is not recharged regularly (every few milliseconds). This refresh requirement makes DRAM three to ten times slower than non-recharged RAM such as SRAM.
Enhanced IDEs (EIDEs), with maximum capacity determined by the hardware controller. I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of hardware (mouse, keyboard, etc.) Initial Program Load (IPL): a feature built into BBS-compliant devices, describing those devices as capable of loading and executing an OS, as well as being able to provide control back to the BIOS if the loading attempt fails. IPL: see Initial Program Load.
PM timers (Power Management timers): software timers that count down the number of seconds or minutes until the system times out and enters sleep, suspend, or doze mode. PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry. Plug-n-Play devices require little set-up to use. Novice end users can simply plug them into a computer that is running on a Plug-n-Play aware operating system (such as Windows 98), and go to work.
design, with cables that are simpler to route and install, smaller cable connectors, and lower voltage requirements. SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM): called as such because it can keep two sets of memory addresses open simultaneously. By transferring data alternately from one set of addresses and then the other, SDRAM cuts down on the delays associated with non-synchronous RAM, which must close one address bank before opening the next.
Technical Support If a problem arises with your system, you should first turn to your dealer for direct support. Your system has most likely been configured or designed by them and they should have the best idea of what hardware and software your system contains. Hence, they should be of the most assistance for you.
