Embedded Security ID
The embedded application is the most important property
of a system integrator. It contains valuable intellectual
property, design knowledge and innovation, but it is easily
copied! The Embedded Security ID utility provides reliable
security functions for customers to secure their application
data within the embedded BIOS.
Monitoring
The Monitoring utility allows the customer to monitor sys-
tem health, including voltage, CPU and system tempera-
ture and fan speed. These items are important to a device;
if critical errors happen and are not solved immediately,
permanent damage may be caused.
eSOS
The eSOS is a small OS stored in BIOS ROM. It will boot up
in case of a main OS crash. It will diagnose the hardware sta-
tus, and then send an e-mail to a designated administrator.
The eSOS also provides remote connection: Telnet server
and FTP server, allowing the administrator to rescue the sys-
tem.
Note: This function requires BIOS customization.
