5.2.1 Hardware Requirements
NM is supported only on platforms that have the NM FW functionality loaded and enabled on the Management
Engine (ME) in the SSB and that have a BMC present to support the external LAN interface to the ME. NM
power limiting features requires a means for the ME to monitor input power consumption for the platform. This
capability is generally provided by means of PMBus-compliant power supplies although an alternative model
using a simpler SMBus power monitoring device is possible (there is potential loss in accuracy and
responsiveness using non-PMBus devices). The NM SmaRT/CLST feature does specifically require PMBus-
compliant power supplies as well as additional hardware on the baseboard.
