T1100 AS Hardware Feature Information
Interface
Serial
Out of Band Management Card
The out of band management (OOBM) card provides "lights-out" management capabilities for
theT1100 AS. The card provides multiple methods to connect to theT1100 AS serial console port,
both locally and remotely. The card also provides a basic management interface that can be used
to debug and control the host. The primary function of the OOBM is provide connectivity to a
host system to remote users. While the card is located on theT1100 AS PCI bus, the card relies
only on that bus for power, and thus is largely independent of the software running on theT1100
AS. Therefore, the card can be used to control and debug the host at times when the host is
experiencing difficulty, or is locked up, and other means of connecting directly to the host do not
work.
Electrical Features
The Tekelec 1100 AS platform offers the following standard electrical features:
Operates from -48 VDC +/- 5% power input according to Network Equipment Building System
(NEBS) requirements in accordance with typical telecommunications applications
Includes short-circuit protections and safety precautions in accordance with common standards
Mechanical Design
The Tekelec 1100 AS mechanical design meets all applicable NEBS requirements and is designed
to protect all of the active components. The design has efficient component cooling using
low-impedance air paths, and its compact size allows multiple units to be configured in a frame
with zero top and bottom clearance when stacked.
Mechanical Maintenance Features
The Tekelec 1100 AS hardware has been designed for easy maintenance. The following components
are field-replaceable units (FRUs):
Fans
Fan filters
Disk drives
140
Description
PCI cards that supply additional serial interfaces
can be added to theT1100 AS platform. These
serial interfaces are used to connect to other
servers located in the same frame.
