System Management Bus (Smbus* 2.0); Intel Virtualization Technology For Direct I/O (Intel Vt-D); Integrated Baseboard Management Controller (Bmc) Overview - Intel S1200SPL Technical Spesification

Intel® Server Board S1200SP Family Technical Product Specification

System Management Bus (SMBus* 2.0)

The Intel C230 series chipset contains a SMBus* Host interface that allows the processor to communicate with
®
SMBus* slaves. This interface is compatible with most I
The Intel ® C230 series chipset's SMBus* host controller provides a mechanism for the processor to initiate
communications with SMBus* peripherals (slaves). Also, the Intel
functionality, including the Host Notify protocol. Hence, the host controller supports eight command protocols
of the SMBus* interface (see System Management Bus (SMBus*) Specification, Version 2.0): Quick Command,
Send Byte, Receive Byte, Write Byte/Word, Read Byte/Word, Process Call, Block Read/Write, and Host Notify.
The Intel C230 series chipset's SMBus* also implements hardware-based Packet Error Checking for data
®
robustness and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to dynamically provide address to all SMBus* devices.

Technology with Directed I/O (Intel
support the virtualization of platforms based on Intel
multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent partitions. A partition behaves like a Virtual
Machine (VM) and provides isolation and protection across partitions. Each partition is allocated its own subset
of host physical memory.

Overview
The Integrated BMC is provided by an embedded ARM9* controller and associated peripheral functionality
that is required for IPMI-based server management. Firmware usage of these hardware features is platform
dependent.
