The CHIF part of the driver name stands for CHIPSET Interface Firmware, which is the software component that facilitates the communication between the operating system and the iLO 4 controller hardware. This driver is crucial for proper functionality and communication between the server's operating system and the iLO 4 controller, enabling features like remote power control, monitoring, and firmware updates.
