Chassis Managers: Monitoring Chassis Health and VPX Boards in Military Systems
WhitepaperJanuary 04, 2021
Monitoring the health, power, and cooling of VPX boards used in all military applications, including radar, electronic warfare (EW), communications, sensor processing, etc., is just as important as keeping an eye on the performance and capability of the end system. Chassis Managers – as defined in VITA 46.11 – now enable the system designer to find faults before any defects negatively impact the individual board or the entire system; correctly implemented, the Chassis Manager also can help maintain power levels and reduce overall downtime.
