    Abstract: A Compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (CPCI) system is provided that can map PCI Industrial Computer Manufactures Group (PICMG) states describing the state of a hot-swap CPCI card into Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) plug-in unit states. Specifically, the hardware/Operating System (OS) states for the CPCI card are specified in PICMG states in accordance with the PICMG hot-swap specification. The present system identifies or defines the meaning (e.g., the definition, identification, function, and/or status) of the states on the CPCI card. The system then maps these states into intermediate states. The intermediate states are then mapped into TMN plug-in unit states (e.g., OperationalState and/or AvailiableStatus). The TMN plug-in unit states corresponding to the CPCI card will then comprise the proper identification information for the CPCI card. Accordingly, a management ware having plug-in units based on the TMN standard can now use these mapped states to manage the state (or status) of the CPCI card.

    Abstract: A system and method is provided to allow a computer network system to keep a device in a powered off state over a power cycle. A service processor stores the power state information or power mask corresponding to the field replaceable unit (FRU) slots in a non-volatile storage location. As a result, after the system has been powered off and on, the power mask information is retained. Accordingly, a hotswap controller may then retrieve the power mask from storage to determine whether a given FRU should be powered on or kept in a powered off state. Depending on the power mask, the service processor will not power on the FRU if the power mask indicates that the device should remain in a powered off state. A management entity may update the power mask information depending on predetermined parameters or the condition of the FRU. As a result, a power mask may be maintained for several power cycles to keep a device in a powered off state.
