2.13.2 SMB Routing Guidelines
The SMBus should be connected to all or none of the PCIe devices and slots. A general
recommendation is to not connect these devices to the SMBus.
The maximum load of SMBus lines is limited to 3 external devices. Please contact Advantech if more
devices are required.
Contact Advantech for a list of SMBus addresses used on the Module. Do not use the same address for
Carrier located devices.
