Abstract
A BIOS/FW controlled set of address pins used to adjust and set SMBUS isolation addresses dynamically during a system booting to detect and resolve any address conflict between said SMBUS isolation and channels behind each isolation. When addressed dynamically, isolations can be opened and closed without getting into an undesired state where a channel is open and contains the same address as the isolation. FW code can be made aware of a conflict and react to provide an alternative address for the isolation.
