Description

The UTC018 is a 1000W AC Power Module for use in a MicroTCA chassis. It is fully compliant with the MicroTCA.0 Revision 1.0 specification; including dual-redundant I2C buses (IPMB-0).

The module is 12 HP, taking two full-size slots in a chassis It is hot-swappable and fully redundant when used in conjunction with a second module.

Multiple temperature sensors are included onboard to monitor for over-temperature conditions within the unit. The current is continuously measured for each of the modules and reported to MCH for any fault.

Once installed in the system, the firmware is upgradable via the Shelf Manager. The UTC018 can be configured to power and enable the modules without the presence of an MCH during development.

IPMI Functionality

The UTC018 is IPMI 2.0 and HPM.1 compliant with optional IPMI commands including warm/cold reset, re-arm sensor events, get device GUID, and get/set the hysteresis, threshold, and/or sensor event enable. The PMs follow the ATCA specification in fail-over for redundant IPMB-0 and FRU LED control. The units also have power channel control, get power channel status, PM reset, get PM status, and PM heartbeat. Temperature and current sensors are also included.
