Description
High reliability and serviceability are two of the main requirements on xTCA systems.
Furthermore a system should be flexible and versatile without raising the administration effort.
Management of each single hardware component in a xTCA is therefore inevitable.
The monitoring of parameters like temperatures and voltages inside the shelf, the handling of interconnections and the automatic supervision of cooling units and power modules are essential features of each xTCA system.
Summary
This tutorial illustrates the role of the MicroTCA Carrier Hub (MCH) and describes the architecture of IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) both on the hard- and software side.
