Description

The VadaTech VT097 IPMI Fan Controller is compliant with the IPMI 2.0 specification and includes dual I2C busses for redundancy. The VT097 is targeted for μTCA chassis implementations and can easily be modified to meet customer requirements. The VT097 can manage up to five fans†. It outputs five PWM signals for a five zone fan tray and it has five TACH inputs†. The module has an external watchdog timer to monitor the CPU in addition to its internal watch dog timer, dual temperature sensors, fan tray and hot swap switch. The hot swap switch input has a +/-15KV ESD-protected switch debouncer. The module has three additional I2C busses that can be routed to external devices such as temp sensors to monitor the μTCA chassis. Once installed in the system the firmware is upgradable from the shelf manager controller.
