3.4.19 System Management Bus (SMBus 2.0*)
The Intel
®
C600 PCH contains a SMBus* Host interface that allows the processor to
communicate with SMBus* slaves. This interface is compatible with most I2C devices. Special
I2C commands are implemented.
I2C commands are implemented.
The Intel
®
C600 PCH’s SMBus* host controller provides a mechanism for the processor to
initiate communications with SMBus* peripherals (slaves). Also, the PCH supports slave
functionality, including the Host Notify protocol. Hence, the host controller supports eight
command protocols of the SMBus* interface (see System Management Bus (SMBus*)
Specification, Version 2.0): Quick Command, Send Byte, Receive Byte, Write Byte/Word, Read
Byte/Word, Process Call, Block Read/Write, and Host Notify.

The Intel

C600 PCH’s SMBus* also implements hardware-based Packet Error Checking for
data robustness and the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) to dynamically provide address to
all SMBus* devices.
all SMBus* devices.
3.4.20 Network Interface Controller (NIC)
Network interface support is provided from the onboard Intel
®
i350 NIC, which is a dual-port,
compact component with two fully integrated GbE Media Access Control (MAC) and Physical
Layer (PHY) ports. The Intel
Layer (PHY) ports. The Intel
®
i350 NIC provides the server board with support for dual LAN
ports designed for 10/100/1000 Mbps operation. Refer to the Intel
®
i350 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller Datasheet for full details of the NIC feature set.
The NIC device provides a standard IEEE 802.3 Ethernet interface for 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-
TX, and 10BASE-T applications (802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab) and is capable of transmitting and
receiving data at rates of 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps.

receiving data at rates of 1000 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 10 Mbps.
The Intel
®
i350 controller also requires the use of Intel
®
C600 PCH SMBus* interface during
Sleep states S4 and S5 as well as for ME Firmware.
The Intel
®
i350 LAN controller will be on
standby power so that Wake on LAN and manageability functions can be supported.
Intel
®
i350 will be used in conjunction with the Server Engines PILOT III BMC for in band
Management traffic.
The BMC will communicate with Intel
®
i350 over a NC-SI interface (RMII
physical).
The NIC will be on standby power so that the BMC can send management traffic over
the NC-SI interface to the network during sleep states S4 and S5.
The NIC supports the normal RJ-45 LINK/Activity speed LEDs as well as the Proset ID function.
These LEDs are powered from a Standby voltage rail.
These LEDs are powered from a Standby voltage rail.
The link/activity LED (at the right of the connector) indicates network connection when on, and
transmit/receive activity when blinking. The speed LED (at the left of the connector) indicates
1000-Mbps operation when green, 100-Mbps operation when amber, and 10-Mbps when off.
The following table provides an overview of the LEDs.
