Product Description
The GEM359 is the latest addition to QLogic's enclosure management product line. Designed as a complete chassis management controller for SCSI and Fibre Channel enclosures, the highly integrated GEM359 monitors all aspects of a server's backplane or storage enclosure. The chip provides in-band SAF-TE and SES management through the SCSI interface or from the SFF-8067 (ESI) ports on Fibre Channel drives. The GEM359 also supports the IPMI specification by providing management data to a baseboard management controller through the IPMB. Users can implement the GEM359 for a variety of applications, from a simple hot swap or SCSI drive backplane controller in a server to a full-featured chassis management controller for a storage subsystem. The advanced feature set allows management of the hot swap drives and monitors all the environmental and control functions of the chassis or backplane. The GEM359 has 59 input and output pins that allow extensive user customization. These pins allow users to define the number of drive slots (up to 14), power supplies, temperature sensors, door locks, and other components specific to the design. In addition, the GEM359 supports fan tachometer inputs and pulse width monitor outputs, providing the system with specific fan monitoring and control.To monitor other characteristics, the GEM359 can control the status LEDs and set thresholds on temperatures and fan speeds. To minimize development time, QLogic supplies the user with the GEM Configuration Utility. This easy to use, menu driven software tool configures various GEM359 parameters, which eliminates the need to customize the code for most applications.

IPMI Application
Users can easily integrate the GEM359 into systems that support the IPMI specification. Internal server backplanes typically utilize the GEM359 as a hot swap controller that uses one of the I2C interfaces as an intelligent platform management bus (IPMB). The IPMB connects to the servers' baseboard management controller (for example, QLogic's Zircon chip), as shown in figure 4.

GEM Configuration Utility
The menu-driven, Windows NT and Windows 2000 compatible GEM configuration utility allows the user to configure the GEM359 to meet the requirements of their system, all without writing a single line of code. This tool performs various functions, including updating the flash ROM and configuring all the GPIOs. The GEM configuration utility allows users to specify a variety of options, including: s Number of device slots s SCSI or Fibre Channel ID of each slot s Number of fans, power supplies, temperature sensors s Upper and lower temperature thresholds s Audible alarm and door lock installed This complete solution provided by QLogic reduces development costs and improves time to market for new and future systems. In addition, SES, SAF-TE, and IPMI firmware are planned for system designers needing a highly customized solution.
