Enclosure Management Controller
The backplane utilizes the features of the Vitesse* VSC410 to implement several enclosure
management functions. The chip provides in-band SAF-TE and SES management and utilizes
2
four I
C interfaces.
1. I2C bus 0 is connected to an EEPROM which stores configuration and FRU data
2. I2C bus 1 is connected to an LM75 temperature sensor
3. I2C bus 2 is connected to an IPMB bus from the server board.
4. I2C bus 3 is connected to the LSISAS1068 SAS controller.
