managed system or about potential hardware
problems.
SOL
Abbreviation for Serial Over LAN. SOL enables
suitably designed servers to transparently redirect the
serial character stream of a baseboard UART to/from a
remote client over a shared LAN. The architecture
requires software running on the managed system’s
BMC and client software running on a management
station and/or a central network proxy.
support commands
Commands that specify how an action should be
performed.
syntax
The rules that dictate how you must type a command
or instruction so that the system understands it. A
variable's syntax indicates its data type.
system configuration information
Data stored in memory that tells a system what
hardware is installed and how the system should be
configured for operation.
system diskette
System diskette is a synonym for bootable diskette.
system memory
System memory is a synonym for RAM.
System Setup utility
A BIOS-based utility that allows you to configure your
system's hardware and customize the system's
operation by setting such features as password
protection and energy management. Some options in
the System Setup utility require that you reboot the
