2.7 Using the ME4 under Windows
2.7.1 Accessing SMBus/I2C Devices
MEN provides the Windows ERTC/SMB Support Package (13Y021-70) for accessing
SMBus/I2C devices, e.g., board management functions.
»
Install the Windows ERTC/SMB Support Package 13Y021-70.

All necessary drivers are installed automatically.
All available devices are visible in the device manager as "MDIS5 devices", e.g.:

smb2_1 provides generic access to all SMB devices

xm01bc_1 provides access to some specific board management controllers (BMC)

lm63_1 provides access to the LM63 temperature and fan controller
Note: Not all MEN products provide the devices above. Therefore, not all MDIS5 devices
may be available in your system.
Note: The device name suffix number (e.g., _1 , _2 ) is assigned during the driver installa-
tion. It is an increasing number (1, 2, 3, ...) and may change after a driver update.
E.g., if your CPU product provides two SMBus controllers, you may see smb2_3
and smb2_4 in your device manager.
