I-Bus
Chassis Management Controller (CMC)
The
I-Bus
Chassis Management Controller (CMC) is a rear accessible I/O board
which allows
the chassis to be managed remotely with SNMP agent by system management
software application.
The
CMC
monitors and/or manages the chassis power, temperature, fans, and
blower speed.
The I-Bus CMC features 6x I2C channels and dry contact relay outputs,
it
communicates with the I-Bus Baseboard Management Controller/Peripheral
Management (BMC/PM) mezzanine module on each IBC 3801 or IBC 3802
server blade.
The
I-Bus
CMC option can be mounted on the rear of Continuon™ CA0505 platform to
maximize
the number of available I/O slots.
Redundant

Benefits
The
critical industry wide issues of density,
performance, power, availability, maintainability, serviceability,
scalability,
and the total cost of ownership have been addressed in the I-Bus
