15. SMBus Connector (6-1 pin SMB1)
This connector supports SMBus (System Management Bus) devices. SMBus
devices communicate by means of the SMBus with an SMBus host and/or
other SMBus devices. SMBus is a multi-device bus that permits multiple chips
to connect to the same bus and enable each one to act as a master by
initiating data transfer.
