This connector allows you to connect SMBus devices. SMBus devices commu-
nicate by means of the SMBus with an SMBus host and/or other SMBus de-
vices. The SMBus or System Management Bus is a specific implementation of
an I
2 C bus, which is a multi-master bus, that is, multiple chips can be connected
to the same bus and each one can act as a master by initiating data transfer.
