American Megatrends Inc. (AMI), the leader in storage and computing innovations worldwide, today announced its participation in the IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) A wiring rack located between the MDF (main distribution frame) and the intended end user devices (telephones, routers, PCs, etc.). Cables run from the outside world to the MDF and then to the IDFs. See MDF and wiring rack. session "Writing and Manufacturing Test Applications for EFI." Senior Software Engineer, Jerry Petree will present AMIDiag(R) for EFI, the first OS independent diagnostic software solution. American Megatrends has developed the first OS independent diagnostic software solution, AMIDiag for EFI for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. AMIDiag continues to provide the most extensive system information available with the full line of AMIDiag products including AMIDiag for DOS, AMIDiag for Windows and AMIDiag for EFI. AMIDiag for EFI incorporates an easy-to-use text user interface TUI short for: Text User Interface or Textual User Interface (and sometimes Terminal User Interface), is a retronym that was coined sometime after the invention of graphical user interfaces, to distinguish them from text based user interfaces. with comprehensive test flow control that allows interactive and batch execution for testing system and components. AMIDiag for EFI has a modular design, which will allow for new testing modules to be developed and added with relative ease. "American Megatrends continues to design cutting edge diagnostic software products," said Stefano Righi, Engineering Manager, Utilities Division. "AMIDiag for EFI can be executed from everywhere: as a firmware module, a bootable device and from a hidden partition that is PARTIES compatible." AMIDiag runs tests on memory configuration, system boards, SMBUS (System Management Bus) A bus used for communicating system requirements. It is used among other things to send charging requirements to the host CPU from the battery. SMBus - System Management Bus , SCSI SCSI in full Small Computer System Interface Once common standard for connecting peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, etc.) to small and medium-sized computers. SCSI has given way to faster standards, such as Firewire and USB. devices, IDE devices, ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) A power management specification developed by Intel, Toshiba and Microsoft that makes hardware status information available to the operating system. , PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). and USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. devices. AMIDiag for EFI offers greater functionality and more testing features than AMIDiag 6.02. AMIDiag for EFI supports, detects and verifies Itanium(R), Pentium(R) II, Celeron(R), Pentium(R) III, Pentium III Xeon(R), Pentium(R) IV, Athlon and Duron CPUs. AMIDiag for EFI testing modules include system board, processor, multiprocessor, PCI BUS, SMBIOS/DMI tables, memory, SCSI devices (HDD, CD, DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc.
