What are the connectors used on The IPMB interface?

What are the connectors used on The IPMB interface?

Intelligent Platform Management Bus Communications Protocol Specification v1.0, Nov 15 1999 Connectors are used on the IPMB interface to include value added features. The interface is electrical interface is I2C. The Type A connector is Molex part number 22-44-7031 The Type B connector is Molex part number

Is the IPMB based on the I2C bus?

The IPMB interface is based on the I2C bus, as shown in the schematic graphic below. The IPMB interface is used as an internal chassis bus that also interconnects to the external chassis-to-chassis interface; ICMB via a bridge chip. The IPMB interface does include provisions for a connector, refer below.

What is The IPMB communication protocol specification V1.0?

IPMB Communications Protocol Specification v.1.0: Document The document describes the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) Communications Protocol Specification v.1.0, rev. 1.0, which defines a byte-level transport of intelligent platform management interface messages between intelligent inter-integrated circuit devices.

What are the connectors for the PMC slot?

Correspondingto the Common Mezzanine Card (CMC) specification, the PMC A slot is comprised of three PMC connectors – Jn1, Jn2, and Jn4. (The Jn3 connector is not fitted on the Netra CP2500 board.) Note – Sun does not support installing a PIM device on either the RTM-S or the RTM-H. The following tables list the PMC slot connector interfaces.
