SCSI Backplane Board

Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS

7.2.4 Server Management Interface

The SCSI Backplane Board supports the following server management features:

ƒLocal I2C Interface

-Field Replaceable Unit (FRU)

-Temperature sensor

-Microcontroller interface (Hot Swap Controller)

ƒSystem I2C Interface

-Micro-controller IPMB interface

-I2C/SM Bus (for fan monitoring)

7.2.4.1Local I2C Bus

The Bus A local I2C bus connects the DS75 (or equivalent) thermal sensor and Atmel* AT24C02N (or equivalent) serial EEPROM (with FRU data) to the microcontroller. This thermal sensor is used by the BMC for the ambient temperature of the system.

7.2.4.2Isolated Global I2C Bus (IPMB)

The global I2C bus connects the controllers to the system. The global I2C bus is isolated from the system until the system PWRGRD reaches the SCSI Backplane Board.

7.2.4.3I2C I/O Bus

The I2C I/O bus connects the Server Board Set SE8500HW4 Mainboard microcontroller to the Server Platform SR6850HW4 Front Panel I/O Board, fan control and the USB hub.

7.2.4.4I2C Addresses

Four I2C devices and their addresses are listed in Table 40 and Table 41. The following I2C devices can be addressed on or through the SCSI Backplane Board:

ƒHot Swap microcontroller (HSC)

ƒFRU EEPROM

ƒTemperature sensor

ƒFan controller
