SMBus Interface
ConnectX-6 Lx technology maintains support for manageability through a BMC. ConnectX-6 Lx PCIe
stand-up adapter can be connected to a BMC using MCTP over SMBus or MCTP over PCIe protocols as
if it is a standard NVIDIA PCIe stand-up adapter. For configuring the adapter for the specific
manageability solution in use by the server, please contact NVIDIA Support.
