In addition, located on the motherboard is a soldered I2C SEEPROM containing the
FRU ID structure.
POST and OBP also access the SEEPROMs in each of the DIMMs, which indicate
their density and type. This data can be used to configure the active memory
controller. The Ethernet address and host ID can be transferred to another system (in
case of motherboard failure) by using the system configuration card and reader to
overwrite the EEPROM contents with the original motherboard's identification
parameters.
The I2C bus is also used to monitor CPU die temperatures through sensors in each
CPU chip and on the processor board. The I2C bus monitors the fan speed, using
LM80s on the PDB, and power supply status.
