  • Page 88: Mch Redundancy Support

    Two independent channels are used for communication. One is the standard redundant backplane IPMB-0. Any MCH will periodically distribute its status on the bus to the other MCH via a Kontron OEM IPMI command send to the MCMC. In addition, a heartbeat is sent periodically between both MCHs using a PLD interlink. This heartbeat is also used to detect health of the other MCH.

Still it is necessary to observe certain criteria essential for application stability and reliability. The AM4904 requires two power sources, the module management power (nominal: 3.3V DC) and payload power (nominal: 12V DC).

    Thermal Considerations 6.2 Thermal Regulation When developing applications using the AM4904, the system integrator must be aware of the overall system thermal requirements. A system chassis must be provided which satisfy these requirements. Measurements proofed that operation in worst case conditions (maximum ambient temperature of 55°C under maximum load) is possible while all temperatures of on-board components stay below their critical thresholds.
