System Monitoring and Alarms
Introduction
The AMC131 performs system monitoring and alarming functions using the flexible, industry
standard, Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI). The AMC131 comes equipped
with an on-board Module Management Controller (MMC) chip, IPMI and IPMB J-connector
pinouts, and MMC firmware already installed on the board. The MMC firmware is based on
Pigeon Point System's (PPS) MMC firmware. Some of the functions available on this board
through the IPMI interface include:
•
Monitoring of the CPU and board temperatures with critical and non-critical alerting
•
Monitoring of the voltage rails with critical and non-critical alerting
•
Remote reset and shutdown of the board
•
Monitoring of ejector switches for hot swap functionality: PT NexusWare IPMI driver and firmware
provide features for hot swap
•
Monitoring and event reporting of critical errors
•
Interface to IPMB line (IPMB-L)
In order to take advantage of the features provided by the firmware, IPMI aware applications
must be developed. Information on IPMI v1.5 is provided at:
