4.2.2 Limitations with Respect to HPI-B AdvancedTCA Mapping
Specification
The following limitations apply with respect to the compatibility with the HPI-B-AdvancedTCA
mapping specification SAIM-HPI-B.03.02-xTCA. Note that these limitations apply to the
current and also to all future Artesyn HPI-B releases. There are no plans to implement these
features in the future.
 Only physical slot numbers are supported
Artesyn HPI-B only supports physical slot numbers in entity paths
 Only "shall" and "should" requirements are supported
Artesyn HPI-B only supports the "shall" and "should" requirements of the HPI-to-
AdvancedTCA mapping specification SAIM-HPI-B.03.02-xTCA. "May" requirements might
not be supported.
 Following Inventory records are not exposed to the HPI users through the HPI Inventory
APIs:
– Radial IPMB-0 Link Mapping Record (PICMG Record Id 15h), version 1
– PICMG Form Factor Information Record (PICMG Record Id 2Eh)
– Shelf Fan Geography Record (PICMG Record Id 1Bh)
– Shelf Configuration Information Inventory
– LED Description Record Fields (PICMG Record Id 2Fh) for AdvancedTCA FRUs.
 E-Keying sensors for the Synchronization Clock Bus and the Metallic Test Bus are not
supported.
 According to the mapping spec, maximum power capability sensor is deprecated and
provided only for backward compatibility.
 The Max value of Assigned Power Sensors for the Managed FRU slots shall not be set. HPI
users can check the Max value for the Assigned Power Sensor of the Managing FRU slots to
determine the total power capability of that slot along with all slots being managed under
the same hardware address.
