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 MegaRAC G2 card.
The MegaRAC G2 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 MegaRAC G2 card's
slave address to solve this problem.
