Description
The VT014 is a carrier which utilizes the VadaTech VT002 Shelf Manager. The carrier is designed to fit the LCR next generation chassis Chassis. The carrier meets all the requirements per ATCA specification including Telco alarms, isolated DC/DC converter, LEDs, etc.
When two VT014s are in the system, they operate in redundant active/standby mode. During operation one VT014 is active while the second one is synchronized in hot standby mode. The VT014 is fully hot-swappable to minimize service down time.
Each IPMI bus has a 64-byte FIFO to allow for a full IPMI packet on each I2C bus so there is no packet loss during operation.
The VT014 can also run as a protocol analyzer to monitor, inject, capture and validate I2C traffic on the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB). A Graphical User Interface (GUI) validates and displays the IPMI packets or schedules IPMI messages for injection into the shelf. The GUI application communicates with the VT014 through the Ethernet port.
