Overview

The VSC205 is an enclosure management controller for peripheral storage applications. This device supports in-band and out of band management strategies. The VSC205 implements in-band SES and SAF-TE enclosure management via the integrated SCSI interface. Out of band solutions are possible using IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) or through a customer unique approach.
