Charter
This Workstream creates designs and specifications to enable interoperable hardware for platform Security and Manageability, in the form of standardized DC-SCM Module. Deliverables from this project will include:
- Specification for the Datacenter Secure Control Interface (DC-SCI) between the DC-SCM Module and Host Processor Module (HPM)
- Electrical, Mechanical, Functional and Logical requirements for platform designers
- Design specifications for interoperable DC-SCM and HPM modules
Workstream Overview
The DC-SCM module specification separates the common platform management and security hardware and places them behind a connector. The module is specified by its connector pin-out called DC-SCI. The module may have one or more form-factors.
Workstream Leadership
- Kasper Wszolek (Intel Corporation)
