•Support for MCTP Protocol
•Support for Management Engine (ME)
•Support of SMBus speeds of up to 400KHz for BMC connectivity
•Improved I/O capabilities to high-storage-capacity congurations
•SPI enhancements
•Intel® Node Manager 3.0 for advanced power monitoring, capping, and man-
agement for BMC enhancement
•The BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security pack-
age for enterprise platforms
Note: Node Manager 3.0 support is dependent on the power supply used
in the system.
