QLogic Corporation GEM359 Guardian Enclosure Management Controller
Data Sheet
Features Product Description Compliance with SCSI Accessed Fault Tolerant The GEM359 is the latest addition to QLogic’s Enclosures (SAF-TE) specification, version 1.00 enclosure management product line. Designed as a and addendum complete chassis management controller for SCSI and Compliance with SCSI-3 Enclosure Services Fibre Channel enclosures, the highly integrated GEM359 Command Set (SES) draft, version 8.0b monitors all aspects of a server’s backplane or storage Compliance with Intelligent Platform Management enclosure. The chip provides in-band SAF-TE and SES Interface (IPMI), version 1.0 management through the SCSI interface or from the Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI interface SFF-8067 (ESI) ports on Fibre Channel drives. The GEM359 also supports the IPMI specification by providing SCSI-3 compatible management data to a baseboard management controller Two small form factor (SFF)-8067 interfaces for through the IPMB. Fibre Channel applications Users can implement the GEM359 for a variety of Two I2C interfaces for connectivity to I2C devices applications, from a simple hot swap or SCSI drive such as a temperature sensor, NVRAM, and the backplane controller in a server to a full-featured chassis Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) management controller for a storage subsystem. The Embedded Universal Asynchronous advanced feature set allows management of the hot swap Receiver/Transmitter (UART), 16550 compatible, drives and monitors all the environmental and control provides a serial port that can be used as a debug port functions of the chassis or backplane. Up to 14 drive slots supported The GEM359 has 59 input and output pins that allow 59 general purpose input/output pins extensive user customization. These pins allow users to ❒ 39 bidirectional pins define the number of drive slots (up to 14), power supplies, ❒ 20 dedicated output pins temperature sensors, door locks, and other components Four fan tachometer inputs for fan speed monitoring specific to the design. In addition, the GEM359 supports Three Pulse Width Modulator (PWM) outputs for fan tachometer inputs and pulse width monitor outputs, fan speed control providing the system with specific fan monitoring and Automatic notification of environmental failure control.To monitor other characteristics, the GEM359 can control the status LEDs and set thresholds on temperatures Watchdog and heartbeat timers and fan speeds. 144-pin Low profile Quad Flat Pack (LQFP) To minimize development time, QLogic supplies the GEM configuration utility software provided user with the GEM Configuration Utility. This easy to use, Firmware is provided for the following interfaces menu driven software tool configures various GEM359 (contact QLogic for availability): parameters, which eliminates the need to customize the ❒ SCSI accessed fault-tolerant enclosures code for most applications.

IPMI Application GEM Configuration Utility Users can easily integrate the GEM359 into systems The menu-driven, Windows NT and Windows 2000 that support the IPMI specification. Internal server compatible GEM configuration utility allows the user to backplanes typically utilize the GEM359 as a hot swap configure the GEM359 to meet the requirements of their controller that uses one of the I2C interfaces as an system, all without writing a single line of code. This tool intelligent platform management bus (IPMB). The IPMB performs various functions, including updating the flash connects to the servers’ baseboard management controller ROM and configuring all the GPIOs. The GEM (for example, QLogic’s Zircon chip), as shown in figure 4. configuration utility allows users to specify a variety of
options, including: SERVER Number of device slots SCSI SCSI or Fibre Channel ID of each slot SERVER BACKPLANE Number of fans, power supplies, temperature -TEMP -DEV_INS sensors -VOLTAGE -P/S GEM359 -LED CTRL -CONFIG Upper and lower temperature thresholds FRU Audible alarm and door lock installed
