Description

The VadaTech VT036 is a Shelf Manager for the VT834 chassis. It has a layer two managed switch with four ports routed to the front panel, four ports to the rear and one to the onboard shelf manager CPU. The unit has a power consumption of 7W.

The VT036 can also run as a protocol analyzer to monitor, inject, capture and validate I2C traffic on the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) buses. 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.

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 VT036 through the Ethernet port.

When two VT036s are in the system, they operate in redundant active/standby mode. During operation one VT036 is active while the second one is synchronized in hot standby mode. The VT036 is fully hot-swappable to minimize service down time. Lithium Battery and/or Super CAP for the Real Time Clock.
