8.3 SMBus Communication
STATUS
Optional
There may be SMBus communication to the power assembly to monitor the cage and modules. This would
require a serial EEPROM to store FRU data of each module and communicate the information onto the SMBus.
There may also be a device in the cage to monitor the module failure and presence status via the SMBus. If there
is a fan in the cage, the SMBus device in the cage may also monitor the fan(s) for failure.
8.3.1 Field Replacement Unit (FRU) Signals
STATUS
Optional
Two pins will be allocated for the FRU information on the power supply connector. One pin is the Serial Clock
(SCL). The second pin is used for Serial Data (SDA). Both pins are bi-directional and are used to form a serial
bus. The FRU circuits inside the power supply must be powered off of 5 VSB output and grounded to ReturnS
(remote sense return). The Write Control (or Write protect) pin should be tied to ReturnS inside the power supply
so that information can be written to the EEPROM.
8.3.2 Module FRU Data
FRU data shall be stored starting in address location 8000h through 80FFh. The FRU data format shall be
compliant with the IPMI specifications. The current version of these specifications are available at:
http:\\developer.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/spec.htm.
