BMC internal timeclock sync with SIO RTC: At BMC startup, the BMC reads the SIO
RTC and updates its internal timeclock. The BMC updates the SIO RTC when it receives
the Set SEL Time IPMI command from the BIOS.
Chassis intrusion fan interactions: Fans go to high speed when the chassis intrusion
signal is asserted.
PCI-Express* link status monitoring support: The BMC maintains sensors for PCI-
Express status and provides interface commands for the BIOS to push state information
to the BMC.
