I2C Configuration

The Advanced I2C Configuration screen is a subsection of the Advanced group. This
page allows you to perform advanced I2C configurations on your ARMC card.
The ARMC card uses I2C to communicate with host system sensors as well as with a
BMC using IPMI. If the host system or BMC are using the same I2C slave address,
problems with sensor access can occur. You can change the ARMC card's slave address
to solve this problem.

after every configured elapsed time interval to determine if the host
system's operating system is functioning.
