Elma Electronic’s family of Chassis Management solutions align with The Open Group Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) Technical Standard 1.0 and supports the Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) standardization initiative from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
These new products provide system engineers with a tool that monitors overall health, identifies anomalies and takes corrective action in systems developed to meet today’s interoperability initiatives as put forth by the DoD.
The new VITA 46.11 Tier 3 chassis manager comes as a standalone unit or can be mounted on a carrier card. 3U and 6U conduction-cooled plug-in versions and an air-cooled 3U version are also available. The card offers firewall support and SOSA out-of-band command support as well as 16 digital inputs and 16 configurable digital outputs that provide a high degree of system management function.
Chassis managers help ensure overall system health and proper operation. This includes maintaining a components and sensor inventory and receiving reports and notices from installed intelligent field replaceable units (FRU). The SOSA aligned chassis manager can also adjust the fan speed for over/under temperature conditions and report or shut down the system due to over or under voltage and current conditions.
Additional features include event sensor logging, electronic keying and card hot-swap monitoring. A redundant IPMB ensures maximum system uptime. The chassis manager operates over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
A web-based graphical user interface (GUI) monitors up to 12 fans, eight analog inputs and six external thermistors. All data is presented in a clear, concise graphical representation with complete sensor information available with the click of a mouse.
