FRU EEPROM
FRU EEPROM allows the baseboard to identify different types of Mezzanine cards. FRU EEPROM is
accessible through SMCLK and SMDATA. FRU EEPROM address is defined according to SLOT_ID0 and
SLOT_ID1, and its capacity is 4Kb.

SMBus Interface

ConnectX®-6 Dx technology maintains support for manageability through a BMC. ConnectX®-6 Dx
OCP 3.0 adapter can be connected to a BMC using MCTP over SMBus or MCTP over PCIe protocols as
if it is a standard NVIDIA OCP 3.0 adapter. For configuring the adapter for the server's specific
manageability solution, please contact NVIDIA Support.

Voltage Regulators

The voltage regulator power is derived from the OCP 3.0 edge connector 12V and 3.3V supply pins.
These voltage supply pins feed onboard regulators that provide the necessary power to the various
components on the card.
CPLD Interface
The adapter card incorporates a CPLD device that controls the networking port LEDs and the scan
chain. It draws its power supply from 3.3V_EDGE.
