SMBus Address Considerations
In dual-slot parallel mode, the SMBus address strap pins in
control signals HxRESETA# and HxBUSENB#. Therefore, it is recommended that the following
technique be used for determining an SMBus address. Pull the PAGNT5 (RESETA#) signals to
ground through a 100 kΩ ± 5% resistor. This keeps the reset signal active until the Intel
ready for it to become deasserted. Pull the PAGNT4 (BUSENB#) signals to 3.3 V through a
10 kΩ ± 5% resistor. The Intel P64H2 may be able to drive this signal to ground when the signal
must be asserted.
Keep in mind that this limits the range of addresses you may achieve. Using this technique, the
address is fixed when operating in dual-slot parallel mode on both controllers.
