Description

The AMC011 provides an easy way to test/monitor AMC slots under different power loading conditions. The module includes two front panel switches for configuration. The rotary switch is read during power up by the on-board IPMI controller, which uses the setting to request the specified amount of power needed during test and verification from the carrier (MCH/Shelf). A second switch is used to increase or decrease the actual power consumption of the board at any time during the test.

An LCD display on the front panel allow for effortless monitoring of the power being used. There is a temperature sensor on the air flow intake side and others at the air flow exit side to continually monitor the air temperature. A push button allows the user to scroll the display output.

The module has a serial port in the front that allows a more dynamic configuration of the load using predefined profiles selected from a menu driven interface.
