As a hot-swappable field-replaceable unit (FRU), the AM5020 follows the stringent carrier
grade RASM feature set, namely - Reliability, Availability, Serviceability, Maintainability.
Built in accordance with the AMC.0 specification, the AM5020 is also compliant with the AMC.1,
AMC.2, and AMC.3 specifications and is easily managed via its IPMI v2.0-compliant manage-
ment features.
As with every Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC), the AM5020 is equipped with a Module Man-
agement Controller (MMC).
1.3 IPMI in AdvancedMC / AdvancedTCA Environment
The Module Management Controller is a crucial component of any AMC module. Besides act-
ing as a regular IPMI management controller (sensor monitoring, event logging, etc.), it also
provides an interface to all necessary data related to module power requirements and imple-
mented interfaces (E-Keying). Further, it plays an active role in the module hot swap state man-
agement. The carrier IPMI Controller (IPMC) communicates with the MMC using the local IPMB
(IPMB-L) bus. In an ATCA/AMC environment, it is the IPMC that actually turns on/off module
(payload) power. However, before the IPMC enables the module payload power, various crite-
ria must be satisfied by both the carrier and the module, including power requirements and ca-
pabilities, matching interfaces, current module hot swap state, and any other special conditions
as specified by the Shelf Manager policy.
