Guardian M2 Alarm Card Module

 

Integrated System Monitoring for user defined alarm conditions, the Westek Guardian Alarm card provides both local and remote alert capability. The alarm module may be specified as an option on most Westek chassis servers, including CompactPCI, and is mounted as a free standing module, therefore not using any system slots for operation.

Please see the M2 datasheet for software interface options

 

The Guardian alarm system module has multiple programmable sensor inputs to measure fan speeds, power supply voltages,  up to 8 temperatures, as well as user defined inputs and cpu system health monitoring. The M2 also features logic I/O lines that can be connected to other input sensors, external logic level alarm signals lines or tamper switches etc or used to drive programmable indicator LEDs.

 

 

Compact Size just 80mm x 233.35mm and may be mounted in any convenient position inside the system. No system slots are required.

 

Dual Serial Ports - M2 alarm module may be monitored by 2 host systems simultaneously. Card can also be connected to a USB port using a readily available and low cost USB-Serial adaptor cable.

 

10/100Mb Ethernet Port (RJ45)  - for remote access, monitoring and error reporting. On board web status page and SNMP trap support.

 

On Board Processor - monitor system without dependence on host system software or bus type. Firmware code flash upgradeable through serial ports for future enhancements.

 

16 x Tachometer Fan - measure fan speeds up to 10000rpm.

 

  8 x Temperature Inputs - measure chassis temperatures from -23 to +100°c.

 

16 x User Definable Inputs or Outputs - configurable as outputs for status LED’s or 5V fail signals, or as Inputs for chassis intrusion switches, PSU status, other fail signals etc. 4 of these I/O’s can also be configured (with jumpers) to act as relay drivers. Levels are standard TTL range.

 

Dedicated Watchdog Reset Connector - reset system in the event of system lockup.

 

Battery Connector - provides power to M2 card in event of power failure (option)

 

System Voltages - connector for measuring +12v,-12v,+5v,+3.3v

 

Simple Power Connector - measure PSU voltages and supply power to A/C module.

 

User Voltage Sense Inputs - 2 x additional user defined voltage inputs up to +/-60v.

 

On Board Speaker - for generating alert condition
