Comments: Normally, we post a link directly to the violation, but this link has changed several time. To find this violation, navigate to the R900 sales page and then click the “Tech Specs” tab. Scroll down to the “Management” section. You will find BMC defined and then in the same paragraph you will find “BMC management controller”. This is a very serious violation of the acronym law as it contains a dual word violation of an acronym for a product from the company violating the acronym!
