[1.3.24] SMBUS Address MUX for
GPGPU Sensor Monitoring Support
[1.3.25] Some high end NVIDIA GPGPU cards have on-board
sensors that allow monitoring of power consumption and ther-
mal data via the PCIe sideband SMBUS interface. S210-
MBT2W must support GPGPU sensor monitoring from desig-
nated GPGPU PCIe slots. Unfortunately since the sensor
devices on all NVIDIA GPGPU cards have the same SMBUS
address, this will create address conflicts when trying to acquire
sensor data from different cards. An SMBus MUX (PCA9545 or
PCA9546) will be required to support Address isolation
between the different cards. Connect the SMBus MUX
between the designated GPGPU slots and BMC SMBus 2.
[1.3.26] SMBus Address Isolation for GPGPU Cards
[1.3.27] The recommended components for the SMBus MUX
are as follows:

PCA9545A: IPN G10822-001

PCA9546: IPN E50300-001 (Preferred)
