Sets to Present: the system-management instrumentation sets this attribute when it loads to instruct that BIOS that operating system level software is handling any out-of-range management condition — if a critical threshold is passed, the driver takes responsibility for shutting down the operating system and powering off the system. The instrumentation is responsible for de-registering itself via the Absent attribute when it unloads. Implementation Note: To maintain compatibility with Dell Command | Monitor, a BIOS that implements of this token via an Indexed I/O access method must ensure that an AND-mask of 0xFB and an OR-value of 0x04 maintains the present status— i.e. the status is in bit 2 of the indexed I/O location.

Sets to Absent: this attribute indicates to the system BIOS that any system-management monitoring is its responsibility. If an out-of-range management condition occurs in the system, the BIOS powers off the system to prevent hardware damage. Implementation Note: To maintain compatibility with Dell Command | Monitor, a BIOS that implements of this token via an Indexed I/O access method must ensure that an AND-mask of 0xFB and an OR-value of 0x00 maintains the absent status — i.e. the status is in bit 2 of the indexed I/O location.
