This section describes the types of system management available with the SurePOS 500.

2.6.1 System management programs

The SurePOS 500 Series supports the following system and power management programs:

Desktop Management Interface

The SurePOS 500 Series supports System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) v2.4, supporting a DMI-compliant agent

such as Tivoli(R). This allows access to low-level information. Examples of information that can be accessed are the

BIOS level, processor type, speed, manufacturer, system-board information, and detailed memory information.

SurePOS 500 4846-XX5 Technical Reference

Page 10 of 63

RDM (Remote Deployment Manager) and IBM Director.

RDM can install an OS and update BIOS remotely and probe machines for low-level information. IBM Director can

remotely configure applications and operating systems, transfer files, and inventory workstations on a network.

APM

APM consists of several layers of software that allow the operating system, applications, and BIOS to work

together to reduce power consumption. APM is supported on DOS and Linux platforms.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) V1.0 defines a hardware and software interface and tables by

which the operating system can alter the characteristics of the hardware-specific devices. ACPI is supported on

Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Power up on LAN

This feature enables the system to power on when it receives a specific frame over the local area network (LAN)

through the 10/100-Mbps Ethernet feature. You can enable power up (wake) on LAN by enabling Wake on LAN in

the CMOS Setup Utility program.

Power up (wake) on daily alarm

This feature enables the system to turn on at the same time every day. You can enable power up (wake) on daily

alarm by enabling Wake on Alarm in the CMOS Setup Utility program.

RMA

IBM Remote Management Agent is a component of IBM Store Integration Framework that simplifies the delivery of

new consumer-facing devices in stores to support the delivery of superior service. For more information, see the

Retail Store Solutions web site.

3.0 BIOS and software description

This section provides an overview of BIOS, SETUP, and system software.

3.1 Setup

The POST CMOS Setup Utility program provides menus for querying and configuration the system. The menus can

be navigated using touch OR a keyboard attached to a USB or PS/2 port.

The CMOS Setup Configuration Utility has optional password protection. The password can be entered through on

screen keypad or keyboard, and can only be numerical. If the password is forgotten, it can be cleared using the CMOS

Clear Jumper located on the main card.

3.4 BIOS Interrupts

This section lists the supported interrupt in DOS. Refer to the IBM Personal System/2 and Personal Computer BIOS

Interface Technical Reference for additional information.

• Int 02h – NMI

• Int 05h - Print Screen

• Memory Location 50:00h.

This is a byte memory location. A value of 00h indicates that the print screen successfully completed or was not

invoked. A value of 01h indicates that a print screen is in progress and subsequent print screens are ignored. A

value of FFh indicates that the print screen terminated due to an error.

• Int 08h - System Timer

This interrupt modifies memory locations 40:6Ch, 40:70h, 40:40h, and 40:3Fh. It also invokes interrupt 1Ch.

• Memory Location 40:6Ch

This dword is incremented every Int 08h tick or 18.2 times per second. The memory location is reset to

00000000h when a 24-hour duration has elapsed.

• Memory Location 40:70h

This byte has a value of 00h until a 24 hour duration has elapsed. It is then set to 01h. The byte must be

manually reset back to 00h.

• Memory Location 40:40h

This byte is decremented every interrupt 08h tick or 18.2 times per second. If the timer goes to 00h, the floppy

motor is turned off and resets the floppy flags in memory location 40:3Fh.

• Int 09h – Keyboard

Called on every make or break keystroke. The 32-byte buffer starting at 40:1Eh is updated at the address pointed

by the keyboard buffer tail pointer. The keyboard buffer tail pointer at memory location 40:1Ch is incremented by 2

unless it extends past the keyboard buffer, in which case it wraps. When a key is read, the keyboard buffer head

pointer at memory location 40:1Ah is incremented by 2 unless it extends pass the keyboard buffer, in which case it

wraps. Special keys such as CTRL, ALT, or Shift update the status at memory location 40:17h, 40:18h and

40:96h. A CTRL-ALT-DELETE key sequence sets the reset flag at memory location 40:72h to 1234h and jumps to

the reset vector.

Pressing the Pause key causes the interrupt handler to loop until a valid ASCII keystroke occurs.

Pressing the Print Screen key causes an Interrupt 05h to be issued.

A CTRL-BREAK sequence causes Interrupt 1Bh to be issued.

Pressing the SysReq key causes Interrupt 15h Function 85h (System Request Key Pressed) to be issued.

Any make keystroke causes Interrupt 15h Function 91h, Subfunction 02h (Interrupt complete from Keyboard) to be

issued.

After any scan code is read from I/O port 60h and Int 15h, Function 4Fh (Keyboard Intercept) is issued. An EOI is

issued upon returning from the Keyboard Intercept.

• Memory Location 40:1Eh

This location is the start of a 32-byte keyboard buffer.

• Memory Location 40:1Ah

This word points to the next character in the keyboard buffer.

• Memory Location 40:1Ch

This word points to the last character in the keyboard buffer. If the value equals the value in memory location

40:1Ah, the keyboard buffer is empty. If the value is two bytes from the contents of memory location 40:1Ah, the

keyboard buffer is full.

• Memory Location 40:17h

This byte contains the keyboard status byte.

• Memory Location 40:18h

This byte contains the extended keyboard status byte.

SurePOS 500 4846-XX5 Technical Reference

Page 23 of 63

• Memory Location 40:96h

This word contains the extended keyboard status.

• Memory Location 40:72h

This word contains the soft reset flag.

• Int 10h – Video

This interrupt is supported by the video ROM.

Int 11h - Equipment Determination

Returns the data at memory location 40:10h.

• Memory Location 40:10h

This word contains the equipment list.

• Int 12h - Base Memory Size

Returns the value at memory location 40:13h.

• Memory Location 40:13h

This word contains the amount of memory up to 640 KB. This count will often be less than 640 KB due to NIC

ROM bootloaders.

• Int 13h - HDD and Floppy Diskette Services

• Int 14h - Serial Communication Services

• Int 15h - System Services

Sub functions are those defined by the IBM Personal System/2 and Personal Computer BIOS Interface Technical

Reference manual. Additional sub function support is OEM dependent.

• Int 16h - Keyboard Services

• Int 1Ah - System-Timer Services, PCI BIOS

• Int 1Bh – CTRL+Break Handler

• Int 1Ch - Periodic Timer Interrupt

• Int 1Dh - Video Parameter Table

Set by the video BIOS

• Int 1Eh - Floppy Diskette Drive Parameters

Points to an 11-byte data structure

• Int 1Fh - Video Graphics Characters

Set by the video BIOS

• Int 23h - CTRL+C, CTRL+Break Handler

• Int 41h - HDD C: Drive Parameters

Points to a 16-byte data structure for drive C:

• Int 46h - HDD D: Drive Parameters

Points to a 16-byte data structure for drive D:
