This document defines Version 1.0 of the wire protocol used by MAnagement software to
6 monitor the operating status and health of EPCglobal compliant RFID Readers.
The System MAnagement BIOS Reference Specification addresses how motherboard and system vendors present
MAnagement information about their products in a standard format by extending the BIOS interface on Intel
architecture systems. The information is intended to allow generic instrumentation to deliver this data to
MAnagement applications that use CIM (the WBEM data model) or direct access and eliminates the need for error
prone operations like probing system hardware for presence detection.
