4 Hardware Platform Management
4.1 Platform Management Overview
The purpose of the hardware platform management system is to
monitor, control, and assure proper operation of AdvancedTCA®
Boards and other Shelf components. The hardware platform man-
agement system watches over the basic health of the system,
reports anomalies, and takes corrective action when needed. The
hardware platform management system can retrieve inventory
information and sensor readings as well as receive event reports
and failure notifications from Boards and other Intelligent FRUs.
The hardware platform management system can also perform
basic recovery operations such as power cycle or reset of man-
aged entities.
The IPMC controller on the aTCA-6155 supports an “intelligent”
hardware management system, based on the Intelligent Platform
Management Interface Specification. The hardware management
system provides the ability to manage the power, cooling, and
interconnect needs of intelligent devices; to monitor events; and to
log events to a central repository.
