Devices on the SMBus
The SMBus is a subset of the I
2
C bus. It is a two-wired serial bus which runs
at a maximum speed of 100 kHz. It is used to monitor some of the hardware
functions of the system board (such as voltage levels, temperature, fan
speed, memory presence and type), both at system boot and during normal
run-time. It is controlled by the SMBus controller located in the ICH2.
