14 Installation Guide for the Intel Server Control
Installing ISC
Managed Server Preparation
ISC uses the event-logging feature of the BIOS for system management status and information. To
enable this feature for each server to be managed with ISC, you must boot the server(s) using the
System Configuration Utility (SCU) or System Setup Utility (SSU) and set the appropriate options
under System Management Options.

NOTE
It is possible to configure temperature and voltage thresholds on the server
system using the SCU or SSU. However, the thresholds set with the SCU or
SSU are in effect only for a short time during the system boot process. PIC
overwrites these thresholds when the OS loads. It is recommended that all
threshold changes be made using Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC).
Compatibility and Upgrade Issues
The following paragraphs describe compatibility and upgrade issues for:
• LSC and LDSM
• NetWare
• Windows NT
• Windows 98 Second Edition
• UnixWare
• Red Hat Linux
• Windows 2000
LSC and LDSM
If you have earlier versions of LSC or LDSM on your network, be aware of the following:
• Versions of LSC integrated with LDSM (e.g., LDSM with LSC55) are not supported
under ISC.
• The ISC-managed server installation will not upgrade the DMI service provider or any DMI
database that is already installed on the managed server. However, if a service provider is not
found, ISC installs a DMI 2.0 service provider.
• The ISC server installation process installs the remote procedure call (RPC) transports (DCE
and ONC) if they are not available on the managed server.
• ISC ships with the DMI 2.0s Service Provider for Windows NT. The 2.0s version is an
extension of the Service Provider that supports security. ISC does not use those features, but
they are available under Windows NT for possible use by other DMI 2.0s-compliant software.
