VITA 46.11 Chassis Manager

VITA 46.11 Chassis Manager Overview

The VITA 46.11 Chassis Manager from Atrenne is a rugged,
SOSA-aligned chassis controller designed for OpenVPX systems that require
reliable health monitoring, thermal management, and system-level control.
Built on the VITA 46.11 standard, it supports a Modular Open Systems Approach
(MOSA) that simplifies integration, interoperability, and lifecycle upgrades.

The VITA 46.11 Chassis Manager supports Tier 1, Tier 2, and
Tier 3 IPMCs and provides key management features including event-driven LED
control, user-programmable GPIO, and automated thermal responses. With three
independent temperature-based fan-control zones, the platform helps maintain
system stability in demanding environments where uptime is critical.

For programs that require resilient chassis management, the
VITA 46.11 Chassis Manager includes dual-redundant IPMB-A /
IPMB-B buses and management interfaces such as RS-232, dual 1000Base-T
Ethernet ports, CLI, RMCP, SNMP, and HTTP. It is designed to support robust
monitoring and control across defense, aerospace, and other mission-critical
OpenVPX applications.
