What does SMB stand for?

The device measures both ambient and CPU temperature, and features a user-programmable thermal alarm that automatically generates a System Management Bus alert when the measured temperature exceeds user-specified limits.

They are also often tied into the System Management Bus (SMBus) on the node being monitored, allowing remote monitoring of on-board sensors (such as voltage, temperature, fan speed, etc.

A microcontroller is used as the IPMI intelligence and connects to the AdvancedTCA System Management bus and the local PCI Express Bridge device.

A microcontroller is used as the IPMI intelligence and connects to the ATCA System Management bus and the local PCI Express Bridge device.

9 System Management Bus, which provides an I2C-based Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) that makes it easy to monitor, control and exchange management information between the Katana750i and shelf management controllers.

0 compliant System Management Bus (IPMB) Series Overview: -- 23400 - I Host Slot, 3 peripheral slots -- 23500 - I Host Slot, 4 peripheral slots -- 23600 - I Host Slot, 5 peripheral slots -- 23700 - I Host Slot, 6 peripheral slots -- 23800 - I Host Slot, 7 peripheral slots Announced in August 1997, PXI is an open specification defining how PC technology can be successfully applied to measurement and automation.

The I2C Bus combined with the System Management Bus (SMBus) protocol can be used for inter-chip communications in applications such as Power Management, Alert Management, Command/Control, and Status Communication.

All communications with the system management bus can be implemented with Lynx's high-level, standards-based control protocol, and the application programming interface and application examples help to further accelerate our customers' implementation cycle.
