Glossary
IPMC Intelligent Platform Management Interface.
It is used to monitor
system health and manage the computer system.
IPMI

KCS
Keyboard Style Controller
LPC
Low Pin count. An interface specification for legacy I/O. Allows legacy I/O
of motherboard components, such a Super I/O chip, to migrate from the ISA/X
bus to the new LPC interface while retaining software compatibility. It runs at the
PCI 33MhZ clock making LPC much faster than the older ISA running with an
8MHz clock.
MultiFrame
MultiFrame is a Keysight feature in which multiple measurement
instruments in two or more chassis are interconnected to appear as one integral
instrument to the user. In a MultiFrame system, special daisy-chain cabling
connects the time base and triggering of the master chassis to all slave chassis.
These cables extend trigger and timing features to instruments not connected to
the master chassis’s backplane. You can use the MultiFrame configuration to
increase the number of measurement modules utilizing a common time base or
cross triggering. Refer to
“MultiFrame Operation” on page 89 for more
information.
Multiple Chassis
In a multiple chassis system, multiple chassis are controlled
by a single controller, and the time base and triggering for each chassis operates
independently from the other chassis. You can use the multiple chassis
configuration to increase the number of chassis/modules that do not require a
common time base or cross triggering between chassis. For more information,
refer to Keysight's Multiple PXIe and AXIe Chassis Configuration tool. This tool is
available on the M9018A Product information CD as well as on line at:
