system manager
Activities performed by a system manager, aiming to
minimise the use of excessive, redundant resources to address
the overlapping requirements of performance balancing, network
management, reducing outages, system maintenance costs,
diagnosis and repair, and migration to new hardware and
software system versions.

SMBus
(SMBus, SMB) A simple two-wire bus used
for communication with low-bandwidth devices on a motherboard,
especially power related chips such as a laptop's rechargeable
battery subsystem (see Smart Battery Data). Other devices
might include temperature sensors and lid switches.
A device can provide manufacturer information, indicate its
model/part number, save its state for a suspend event,
report different types of errors, accept control parameters,
and return status. The SMB is generally not user configurable
or accessible.
The bus carries clock, data, and instructions and is based on
Philip's I2C serial bus protocol. Support for SMBus devices
is provided on Windows 2000. Windows 98 does not support
such devices.
The PIIX4 chipset provides SMBus functionality. Vendors
using SMBus would be required to pay royalties.

SMM
(SMM) A reduced power consumption state provided by
some Intel microprocessors. When a CPU enters SMM it
saves its current state in a special area of static RAM
called SMRAM (System Management RAM) and then runs a
program, also stored in SMRAM, the SMM handler.
SMM is implemented in all Intel "SL" suffixed CPUs. In June
1993, Intel announced it was discontinuing its SL range and
instead making all its current processors SL enhanced.
