C Bus)
There are two I

C buses (referred to as the “I squared C bus”) in this system.
The internal maintenance bus is used to monitor system conditions scanned by
the power control logic on the server feature module, log error state and track
system configuration information. There is a private I
2
C bus between memory
and the C-chip used to provide memory configuration information to the consoles
and operating systems.
