"LOM"?

"LAN On Motherboard" of all things.  

(I had to look this
one up.  The expansion better suited
to today's economy is "Low On Manna".)

Or the previous usage from Sun, Apple, and others: "Lights Out
Management".  Not sure why they needed to clash with a name already used
in server-space, but perhaps I'm just out-of-date and there's a fancier
name for LOM these days, and LOM got repurposed.

It's widely used with both meanings - what's more, LOM is an expected
feature of LOMs. :-)
