Request
The bottom latch is closed or
activation lock bit has been cleared.
The IPMI microcontroller has
requested permission to boot the
payload from the shelf
management controller.
3
Off
M3-M4 Active
The IPMI microcontroller has
received permission to activate the
payload, and has done so. This
should be the state under normal
operation.

Opening the bottom latch or
resetting the deactivation lock bit
