BEL Named after Alexander Graham Bell, a logarithmic unit expressing magnitude of change
in level of power, voltage, current, or sound intensity. A decibel (dB), 1/10 bel (B),
measures relative power.
BMC
Baseboard Management Controller. Controls communications between the
microprocessor and peripheral devices, such as keyboard, video controller, and
miscellaneous functions, such as system messages. Provides basic read/write
capability and usually kept as firmware (ROM-based). The system BIOS on the
motherboard of a computer boots and controls the system. BIOS on a host adapter acts
as an extension of the system BIOS and is stored on a flash memory chip.
