SCM	System control manager; a microprocessor on a
	standard I/O module that monitors and controls other
	microprocessors that monitor system state. The SCM
	provides a command language for an operator and
	allows for remote management of the system. A second
	standard I/O module with another SCM provides a
	backup control system.
Secondary PCI box A PCI master box that serves as a backup to the
	primary PCI box. See also Primary PCI box.
