No, don’t. I’m sorry, I thought you were talking about the System Management Controller, a hardware feature on Apple computers that maintains low-level functionality and is designed to limit damage to the machine. That’s a very different system from the System Management Controller, which is a “software component” on Apple machines that provides advanced maintenance and troubleshooting features.
