that allows your networked client computer to boot using a

 

 

 

program code image supplied by a remote server.

 

 

IDE

Integrated Device Electronics. Common, low-cost disk interface.

 

 

IPMB

Intelligent Platform Management Bus. Physical two-wire

 

 

 

medium to carry IPMI.

 

 

IPMC

Intelligent Platform Management Controller. ASIC on baseboard

 

 

 

responsible for low-level system management.

 

 

IPMI

Intelligent Platform Management Interface. Programming model

 

 

 

for system management.

 

 

KCS

Keyboard Controller Style interface.

 

 

LPC Bus

Low Pin Count Bus. Legacy I/O bus that replaces ISA and X-bus.

 

 

 

See the Low Pin Count (LPC) Interface specification.

 

 

MTBF

Mean Time Between Failure. A reliability measure based on the

 

 

 

probability of failure.

 

 

NEBS

National Equipment Building Standards. Telco standards for

 

 

 

equipment emissions, thermal, shock, contaminants, and fire

 

 

 

suppression requirements.

 

 

NMI

Non-Maskable Interrupt. Low-level PC interrupt.

 

 

Node Board

A board capable of providing and/or receiving packet data to/

 

 

 

from a Fabric Board via the ports of the networks. The term is

 

 

 

used interchangeably with SBC.

 

 

MPCBL0010
