The shelf management system consists of several major components:

Distributed intelligent platform management controllers (IPMCs) which manage and
monitor the operation and environment conditions of each field replaceable unit (FRU) in
the shelf

Shelf manager which implements a system management interface and contains shelf
management controller (ShMC) through which it communicates with other IPMCs

Intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) infrastructure which provides
communication, management, and control paths among the distributed controllers and
to the shelf manager. The IPMI infrastructure is fully compliant to the
IPMI V.1.5 and
AdvancedTCA Specification .
The shelf manager is the active instance of the software running on the ATCA-MF106 board.
For a detailed description refer to the ATCA-MF106 Installation and Use guide. For a description
of the HPI-B software refer to the System Management Interface Based on HPI-B (Centellis CO
31kX/4100/2000) User’s Guide .
Due to high availability software, utilizing redundant hardware components, system high
availability is ensured. Shelf management software runs on two redundant ATCA-MF106
boards.
The shelf manager performs the following main tasks:

Retrieving FRU inventory information

Receiving events from sensors of the shelf

Monitoring and controlling the temperature of the shelf

Reporting of errors

Executing corrective actions

Managing blades for hot swap functionality
1.4 System Management
The system manager function is provided by the end user and is responsible for managing one
or more Centellis 2100 shelves. The shelf manager of the ATCA-MF106 board provides an
interface (Hardware Platform Interface, HPI) to monitor and control the assigned shelves.
