BMC Support

This feature enables or disables the installed Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the motherboard. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Wait For BMC

If enabled, the system will wait for a BMC response after the AC power is turned on. It takes around 30 seconds to initialize Host to BMC interfaces. The options are Disabled and Enabled.

BMC Self Test Log

This feature logs any BMC messages returned during a BMC self-test. It shows the total number of entries and will allow the viewing of each event by scrolling down.

Erase Log - Select Yes, On every reset or No.

When Log is Full - Select Clear Log or Do Not Log Anymore.

System Event Log

This feature is used to change the Sytem Event Log (SEL) configuration.
