2 System Board
The Input/Output Controller Hub 2 (82801BA)
ICH2 SMBus Master | The ICH2 provides a |
Controller | the SMBus is done through the ICH2 SMBus interface. Typically, the |
| processor has access to all the devices connected to the SMBus. |
DIMM Sockets | Each DIMM socket is connected to the SMBus. The |
| include a 256 byte I2C Serial EEPROM. The first 128 bytes contain general |
| information, including the DRAM chips’ manufacturer’s name, DIMM speed |
| rating, DIMM type, etc. The second 128 bytes of the Serial EEPROM can be |
| used to store data online. |
RIMM Sockets | Each RIMM socket is connected to the SMBus. The |
| include a 256 byte I2C Serial EEPROM. The first 128 bytes contain general |
| information, including the DRAM chips’ manufacturer’s name, RIMM speed |
| rating, RIMM type, etc. The second 128 bytes of the Serial EEPROM can be |
| used to store data online. |
ADM1024 | The ADM1024 chip is a hardware monitoring sensor dedicated to the |
| processor temperature. This chip uses the thermal diodes integrated into |
| each processor cartridge and makes the temperature information available |
| through the SMBus. It also monitors processor power supply voltages. |
Serial EEPROM | This is the |
| memory (in the event of battery failure).When installing a new system |
| board, the Serial EEPROM will have a blank serial number field. This will be |
| detected automatically by the BIOS, which will then prompt the user for the |
| serial number which is printed on the identification label on the back of the |
| PC Workstation. |
| The computer uses 16KBytes of Serial EEPROM implemented within two |
| chips. Serial EEPROM is ROM in which one byte at a time can be returned to |
| its unprogrammed state by the application of appropriate electrical signals. |
| In effect, it can be made to behave like very slow, |
| used for storing the tatoo string, the serial number, and the parameter |
| settings for the Setup program as well as MaxiLife firmware. |
LM75 Temperature | The LM75 temperature sensor and alarm are located on the system board. |
Sensor | The sensor is used to measure the temperature in various areas of the |
| system board. This information is used to regulate fans. |
