Not sure if this helps, but...
MIB is a standard term. It is the information base for SNMP agents. The MIB
files are specific and provided by each vendor of SNMP-based equipment.

My gut is that "system name" does not need to be capitalized.

MIB stands for Management Information Base.

I am not sure if it is a standard term, it might be proprietary. IMO the
system name itself (i.e. system name: System) would be capitalised, but the
term system name itself within the sentence should not be. So I need some
thoughts on this. :)
