• Control plane communications supported by a Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet switch with integrated MIPS processor core
• Eight SGMII ports interface to the eight VITA 46 slots, with ninth port capable of being wired to another SCH3000 in the system for redundancy
• Dedicated management plane based on the Intelligent Platform Management
• Interface (IPMI) standard is enabled by Renesas IPMI Controller

• Application and system management control for 3U VPX Systems
• Supports control-plane and management-plane communications
• Provides application flexibility via GigE control-plane switch
• Enables sophisticated system management via industry-standard IPMI communications
• Designed and architected for OpenVPX™ interoperability
