-System management interrupts are high priority unmaskable hardware interrupts which cause the CPU to immediately suspend all other activities, including the operating system, and go into a special execution mode called [[realtime:​documentation:​howto:​debugging:​smi-latency:​smm|system management mode]] (SMM). Once the system is in SMM, the interrupt is handled by firmware code.+System management interrupts are high priority unmaskable hardware interrupts which cause the CPU to immediately suspend all other activities, including the operating system, and go into a special execution mode called [[realtime:​documentation:​howto:​debugging:​smi-latency:​smm|system management mode]] (SMM)  ([[https://​software.intel.com/​en-us/​articles/​intel-sdm|Intel SDM]], Vol.1 3.1).
