SUPERSERVER 5016T-TB User's Manual

SMBus to PCI Slots

Jumpers JI2C1 and JI2C2 allow you to connect the System Management Bus (I2C) to the PCI slot. The default set- ting is Open (Disabled.) Both jumpers must be set to the same setting (JI2C1 controls the clock and JI2C2 controls the data). See the table on the right for jumper settings.

BMC Enable/Disable

The JBMC1 jumper allows the user to enable or disable the BMC (Base- board Management Control) chip and the onboard IPMI connections. This jumper is to be used together with the IPMI settings in the BIOS. If this jumper is set to enabled, please also enable IPMI in the BIOS and vice versa. The default position is on pins 1 and 2 to enable BMC. See the table on the right for jumper settings.
