The T8231C module facilitates the implementation of multiple chassis systems using UTP cable connections while maintaining the fault-tolerant, high-bandwidth capabilities of the Inter-Module Bus (IMB). It provides fault containment for the Expander Bus, the module itself, and the IMB within the Controller Chassis, ensuring that any potential faults are localized to maximize system availability. The module features a fault-tolerant HIFT TMR architecture and offers comprehensive diagnostics, monitoring, and testing for rapid fault identification. Additionally, it supports hot standby and module spare slot configurations, enabling both automatic and manual repair strategies.
FAQ
1. What is fault containment in the T8231C module?
Fault containment in the T8231C ensures that any faults occurring within the Expander Bus, the module itself, or the IMB in the Controller Chassis are isolated. This prevents faults from affecting the entire system and maximizes system uptime.
2. What diagnostics and monitoring capabilities does the T8231C offer?
The module includes comprehensive diagnostics, monitoring, and testing features, which provide rapid fault identification and help maintain the health and performance of the system.
3. Does the T8231C support repair strategies?
Yes, the T8231C supports both hot standby and module spare slot configurations. This enables automatic and manual repair strategies to ensure continuous operation and minimize downtime during maintenance.
