The VT004 is a carrier which utilizes the VadaTech VT001 Shelf Manager. The Carrier is designed to fit the LCR Chassis. The Carrier has all the requirements per ATCA specification such as the Telco Alarms, isolated DC/DC converter, LEDs, etc.
When two VT004s are in the system, they operate in redundant active/standby mode. During operation one VT004 is active while the second one is synchronized in hot standby mode. The VT004 is full hot-swappable to minimize service down time.
Each IPMI bus has a 64 byte FIFO to allow for a full IPMI packet on each I2C bus so there is no packet loss during operation.
The VT004 can also run as a protocol analyzer to monitor, inject, capture and validate I2C traffic on the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB). A Graphical User Interface (GUI) validates and displays the IPMI packets or schedules IPMI messages for injection into the shelf. The GUI application communicates
