Introduction
RMS compact is a hardware adapter that enables monitoring of the micro-environment of the rack. This
Ethernet-compatible network adapter uses networking protocols, such as SNMP, TCP/IP, Web and Telnet to
bring the non-networked components of the rack within view and control of the system manager.
RMS compact remotely monitors up to eight digital inputs and includes two analogue ports for temperature and
humidity sensing. It also includes three power switching outputs. It polls the monitored devices for status
information and this information is then ‘translated’ into SNMP and provided back to the network management
station via the in-built Ethernet link.
The output capabilities of the RMS compact allows it to take actions given a pre-defined set of input conditions –
e.g. if a fan failure is reported, and the temperature rises above a certain level, the an additional set of fans
could be activated.
RMS compact
is a highly compact and cost effective solution to the difficulties posed by the rack environment,
where space is at a premium. What’s more, it deploys off the shelf without the need for specialist installation
skills and after the initial set-up, the password protected web browser interface can be used for remote
configuration.
