2 ACCESS TO THE SMC-CONTROLLER

The communication to the SMC-Controller is done through the SMBus 1.0-compliant host controller

of the Chipset. This host controller provides a mechanism for the CPU to initiate communications
with the SMC as slave device. Please look at the Chipset Datasheet for detailed information about

the SMBus host controller. The SMC slave address is 0101000X, where X is the Read(1)-/Write(0)-
bit.
