2.4.1. Field Replaceable Unit Identification (FRUID) EEPROM
A Field Replaceable Unit Identification (FRUID) EEPROM (Microchip 24AA024-I/SN) located at default SMBUS address 0xA0 is connected to the SMBUS of the PCIe* interface. The PCIe* 3.3 V Auxiliary power provided at the PCIe* slot connector on the host server powers the FRUID EEPROM. This allows the FRUID EEPROM to be readable even when 12 V power to the slot is not provided by the host server.
This FRUID contains board specific information that identify the card installed into the PCIe* slot. The FRUID contains the following information:
- Board Manufacturer
- Board Model Number
- Board Serial Number
- Location of Manufacturer
- Date of Manufacture
