American Trends MG9087 Chipsets - is a low-cost, ultra-small, single-chip solution for use on SAS and SATA Backplanes for up to 8 drives per backplane. Simple Type: Chipset The MegaRAC MG9087 helps optimize backplane layout with the latest enclosure management technologies. Highly integrated and space-optimized, the chip features integrated internal oscillator and temp sensor; measures only 9 x 9 mm, and does not require the usual plethora of components that drive backplane costs upward: external crystal, flash memory, Power-On Reset (POR) chip, temperature sensor, regulator, EEPROM, LED Driver, FRU, and transceivers. This may bring significant savings, depending on the design and configuration of your project. In addition, reducing the number of components on the backplane makes for simpler and cleaner designs, which improves time to market (TTM). Developers can further improve TTM by utilizing AMI’s 971/972 development boards. The MG9087 enclosure management controller manages LED patterns for up to eight SAS/SATA drives, providing drive activity, Fail/Rebuild and Locate signals. It supports SGPIO and IPMI over SMBUS, with support for SES2 over SMBUS. MG9087 can be utilized in a multitude of designs, managing LEDs for systems that feature a number of drives that varies from six to thirty-two. As many as 16 configurations are already available from AMI. AMI offers a variety of hardware and software tools for firmware upgrade and configuration via IPMI or USB. A convenient USB2.0 utility provides status monitoring, diagnostics and firmware upgrade independent of the system BMC controller. Download the datasheet (PDF)
