Use an SNMP manager or any tool that can send SNMP queries (for example
iReasoning or Wireshark) to verify that the shelf manager can respond to SNMP
polling requests using the configured community strings.
Using the shelf manager system event log (SEL)
The chassis system event log (SEL) records all system events and this section describes
how to read and interpret the SEL.
Before you begin
Before going further in this section, you should log into your active shelf manager and
enter the following commands. This will be a good reference for what you physically have
in your system and will help with understanding other areas of this section.

Chassis Design Background
All the devices in an ATCA chassis are controlled and monitored through an Intelligent
Platform Management Controllers (IPMC). Each shelf manager and all ATCA boards have
their own physical IPMC chip and are assigned an IPMC address. Their unique address is
assigned based on what chassis slot they are physically inserted into. Additionally, there
is a reserved logical chassis IPMC address of 20 hex which is created and controlled by
the active shelf manager.
•
Shelf Manager slot 1 = IPMC address 10
•
Shelf Manager slot 2 = IPMC address 12
•
ATCA slot 1 = IPMC address 82
•
ATCA slot 14 = IPMC address 9C
•
Logical IPMC from Active Shelf Manager = IPMC address 20
The IPMC connects to and monitors the readings on various sensors located on devices
in the system. These devices are typically called FRUs. The term FRU generally refers to
any removable or field replaceable component, but in a more technical view can be any
unique device in the system even if it is not removable, such as a backplane.
•
FortiGate-5001A in ATCA slot 1 = (IPMC 82) FRU 0
•
Shelf Manager in SM slot 1 = (IPMC 10) FRU 0
•
Shelf Manager in SM slot 2 = (IPMC 12) FRU 0
All the other FRU devices that make up a chassis are referenced through the logical IPMC
address 20.
•
SAM (Shelf Alarm Modules) = (IPMC 14) FRU 8 and (IPMC 18) FRU 0
•
Fan 1 = (IPMC C8) FRU 0
•
Fan 2 = (IPMC CA) FRU 0
•
PEM A (Power Entry Module A) = (IPMC C0) FRU 0
