Manageability
Socket Direct technology maintains support for manageability through a BMC. The Socket
Direct PCIe stand-up adapter can be connected to a BMC using MCTP over SMBus or MCTP
over PCIe protocols as if it is a standard Mellanox PCIe stand-up adapter. For configuring the
adapter for the specific manageability solution in use by the server, please contact Mellanox Sup-
port.
