Advanced Energy's Open Rack Version 3 (ORv3) High Power Rack (HPR) Power Management Controller (PMC) is a hot-pluggable controller that facilitates monitoring and control of the ORv3 HPR power shelf. Communicating via a 10/100/1000MB Base-T Ethernet port connected directly to the rack switch, the PMC aggregates communications with the host controller and communicates with PSUs in the shelf through its backplane connector. The PMC provides ethernet connectivity and communications via the DMTF Redfish interface protocol.
A 4x RJ45 front connector provides one Ethernet port and one RS232 port for debugging and additional ports for daisy chaining in multiple shelf applications
