C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)
What is I
2
C? A simple bi-directional 2-wire bus for ecient inter-integrated circuit control. All I
2
C-bus
compatible devices incorporate an on-chip interface which allows them to communicate directly with
each other via the I
2
C-bus. This design concept solves the many interfacing problems encountered when
designing digital control circuits. These I
2
C devices perform communication functions between
intelligent control devices (e.g., microcontrollers), general-purpose circuits (e.g., LCD drivers, remote I/O
ports, memories) and application-oriented circuits.
SECTION 9. EMBEDDED NICS/LOMS
A. Overview/Description
Embedded Gigabit Ethernet Controllers with TCP Ooad Engine (TOE) support
One embedded dual-port Broadcom 5709C LAN controller is on the PowerEdge M610 planar as an independent
Gigabit Ethernet interface device. The following information details the features of the LAN devices.

SECTION 10. MEZZANINE CARD SLOTS
A. Overview/Description
The PowerEdge M610 contains 2 PCIe x8 Gen 2 mezzanine card slots. Each card is a dual port.
Every M610 blade can support up to 4 I/O ports (2 from each of the 2 mezzanine cards) plus the
two integrated NIC/LOM ports. PLEASE NOTE: For space, the size of new mezzanine cards has been
reduced and in the M610 only ONE of some older size cards can fit. Fabric C can fit any card. Fabric B
can NOT fit: FC4 HBAs, Infiniband HCAs or Broadcom 5708 1Gb NICs. Mezzanine card options include:
