Remote Maintenance Board (RMB) functionality for selected media servers is provided by a 
circuit card that is plugged into the media server. Two different circuit cards are used on the 
S8500 and S8500B media servers. The S8500 server uses a Remote Supervisor Adapter 
(RSA) board. The S8500B uses a Augmentix Server Availability Management Processor™ 
(A+SAMP™) board. 
In both cases the basic functionality of the RMB cards is:

●

Monitor the media server environmental state of health: fans, voltages, and temperature.

●

Report server failure.

●

Provide the ability to perform remote server power-on and reset capability. 

 

The remote maintenance board function is implemented in the S8500 media server by the 
Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) board. For more information on alarms that may be 
generated by the S8500 media server regarding the RSA see 

on page 116. These alarms, reported with the Maintenance Object (MO) named 

RMB, will be associated with a Product ID beginning with one (1) followed by nine digits. 

The remote maintenance board function is implemented in the S8500B media server by the 
Augmentix Server Availability Management Processor (A+SAMP) board. For more information 
on alarms that may be generated by the A+SAMP see 

on page 120. These alarms, reported with the 

MO named RMB, will be associated with a Product ID beginning with five (5) followed by nine 
digits.
