•
Intel® Node Manager 4.0 for advanced power monitoring, capping, and management for
BMC enhancement
•
The BMC supports remote management, virtualization, and the security package for en-
terprise platforms
Note: Node Manager 4.0 support is dependent on the power supply used in the system.
1.2 Special Features
This section describes the health monitoring features of the X11DPU motherboard. The

supports system health monitoring.
Recovery from AC Power Loss
The Basic I/O System (BIOS) provides a setting that determines how the system will respond
when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to
remain powered off (in which case you must press the power switch to turn it back on), or
for it to automatically return to the power-on state. See the Advanced BIOS Setup section
for this setting. The default setting is Last State.
