Intelligent chassis management module for CompactPCI

16 July 2003 Computer/Embedded Technology Healthcare (Industry)

The MIC-3294 is an independent platform system management module from Advantech that can detect a system's operating conditions and notify users to take necessary actions to avert system failure through multiple communication protocols. With this management module installed, a system's monitor and management can be integrated with an existing SNMP-based network management environment. The MIC-3924 also has a built-in Web-based administration interface that allows users to monitor system's operation from any place with Internet connectivity.

Powerful yet easy to use

The MIC-3924 can detect a wide variety of internal system conditions, including temperature, voltage, fan rotation, power supply or CPU operations such as watchdog timer output. Through its I2C interface it can even monitor CPU temperature and voltages of Advantech's CompactPCI CPU boards. Depending on the alarm severity or user set-up, it can generate several different alarm outputs, including SNMP trap, e-mail, page, acoustic signal, system reset, or digital signal output. The web-based user interface allows users to set the alarm criteria and select alarm outputs for each sensor input independently to meet users' requirements. The onboard back-up battery enables the MIC-3924 to perform its alarm function even during total system power failure.

The onboard 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet interface enables the MIC3924 (only MIC-3924A) to be connected to an existing network, independent from the system's connection. It supports multiple network protocols such as TCP/IP, SNMP, HTTP and Telnet, allowing users to manage their systems simply with a Web browser. No special software driver is needed, thus eliminating compatibility issues with different operating systems.

The MIC-3924 series provides flexible integration with Advantech's CompactPCI enclosures, such as MIC-3038, MIC-3041, MIC-3056 series and also new upcoming enclosures. With its hot-swappable capability, users can upgrade the system easily for advance environment monitoring. The system can be a value add for high-end chassis management.

The firmware can be upgraded on-line by using the included set-up utility. There is no need to go to a remote site and disassemble the enclosures to the MIC-3924 module for firmware upgrade. The COM port can be another interface for the administrator management, especially for those applications that need higher security.
