Management Processor Monitor: EEPROM/I2C Commands

reads 100 bytes from offset 0x1800 in serial EEPROM 0x53 (right-shifted 7-bit address) and places it in memory at address 0x100000.

Definition: Read/write cnt bytes from devaddr EEPROM at offset off.

eeprom read devaddr addr off cnt eeprom write devaddr addr off cnt

icrc32

The icrc32 computes a CRC32 checksum.

Definition: icrc32 chip address[.0, .1, .2] count

iloop

The iloop command reads in an infinite loop on the specified address range.

Definition: iloop chip address[.0, .1, .2] [# of objects]

imd

The imd command displays the primary I2C bus memory. For example:

imd 53 1800.2 100

displays 100 bytes from offset 0x1800 of I2C device 0x53 (right-shifted 7-bit address). The

.2 at the end of the offset is the length, in bytes, of the offset information sent to the device. The serial EEPROMs all have two-byte offset lengths. The Real-Time Clock (RTC) has a one-byte offset length. The temperature sensors have zero-byte offset lengths.

Definition: imd chip address[.0, .1, .2] [# of objects]

imm

The imm command modifies the primary I2C memory and automatically increments the address.

Definition: imm chip address[.0, .1, .2]

imw

The imw command writes (fills) memory.

Definition: imw chip address[.0, .1, .2] value [count]

inm

The inm command modifies I2C memory, reads it, and keeps the address.

Definition: inm chip address[.0, .1, .2]

This level of density not only maximizes space but also minimizes power consumption, which is crucial for reducing operational costs in large-scale deployments.

The ATCA-9305 is built with a focus on advanced thermal management and redundancy. It employs a sophisticated cooling architecture that ensures optimal airflow across the chassis, preventing overheating during operation. Additionally, the chassis features hot-swappable fans and power supplies, which means that components can be replaced without interrupting the overall system performance. This capability enhances uptime and reliability, which is essential for mission-critical applications.

Another notable characteristic of the ATCA-9305 is its support for various interconnect technologies. The chassis provides robust backplane options that facilitate high-bandwidth communication between blades. It supports Ethernet, PCI Express, and Serial RapidIO, allowing for seamless integration with existing infrastructure and future technologies. This flexibility enables organizations to adapt to changing market demands and technological advancements.

Security features are also a prominent aspect of the ATCA-9305. The chassis incorporates hardware-based security modules that enhance data integrity and protect sensitive information. This is particularly important for service providers who must adhere to strict regulatory compliance standards.

In terms of management and monitoring, the ATCA-9305 is equipped with advanced management capabilities. It supports AdvancedTCA Management Interface (IPMI) and other monitoring protocols, allowing administrators to easily oversee the health and performance of the entire system. This level of visibility aids in proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, effectively reducing downtime.

In conclusion, the Emerson ATCA-9305 is a powerful and versatile chassis that stands out due to its high-density configuration, advanced thermal management, diverse interconnect technology support, robust security features, and comprehensive management capabilities. Its design is tailored for the evolving needs of telecommunications and data center environments, making it a valuable asset for any organization looking to enhance its infrastructure.
