Installation

3.7.1ICMB Connector

The ICMB connector can be used to attach the Intel NetStructure MPCBL5525 System Master Board via the Intel MPRTM4808 board to other systems based on the IPMI. To monitor the overall system, the chassis can be connected via the Intel MPRTM4808 boards. The IPMI signals are routed from the CPU via the backplane to the Intel MPRTM4808 board and are then available on the ICMB connector.

The ICMB bus must be connected via a multi-drop cable or star topology.

The following figure shows how the pins are assigned.
