AM4901 Introduction

1. Introduction

1.1 MicroTCA™ System Overview

The MicroTCA™ Carrier Hub (MCH) described in this manual is based on the Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture (MicroTCA™ or µTCA™) defined by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG®). The main advantages of MicroTCA™ include high throughput, multi-protocol support, hot swappability, high scalability, and integrated system management. For further information regarding the MicroTCA™ standard and its use, please consult the complete Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture Base Specification.
The Kontron MCH cards can be integrated into MicroTCA™ backplanes providing them with su­perior processing power and maximum design options. To learn more about the outstanding features and advantages of Kontron MicroTCA™ systems, please contact Kontron or visit the Kontron web site.

1.2 Board Overview

1.2.1 Board Introduction

The AM4901 is a MicroTCA™ Carrier Hub (MCH) implemented in the form factor of a Single, Full-size Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) Module with a single tongue. It combines the control and management infrastructure and the interconnect fabric resources needed to sup­port up to twelve AMC modules, up to two cooling units and up to four power modules in a MicroTCA™ system. The MCH’s design is based on the NXP® LPC2368 microcontroller and the Broadcom BCM5396 Gigabit Ethernet switch.
The NXP® LPC2368 microcontroller includes a 16-bit/32-bit, 70 MHz, ARM7 CPU with inte­grated 512 kB Flash, 58 kB SRAM, I²C busses for IPMB usage, and an Ethernet interface. On the AM4901, this microcontroller serves as the MicroTCA™ Carrier Management Controller (MCMC) with electronic keying (E-Keying) support.
The Broadcom BCM5396 Gigabit Ethernet switch uses 14 SerDes/SGMII ports and combines all functions of a high-speed base fabric including packet buffer, Media Access Controllers, ad­dress management and a non-blocking switch controller.
The AM4901 itself is hot swappable and uses E-Keying to provide hot swap capability for the FRUs installed in a MicroTCA™ system, such as AMCs, cooling units and power modules, thus enabling them to be replaced, monitored and controlled without having to shut down the Mi­croTCA™ system. Furthermore, it is able to monitor and control several onboard temperature conditions of the FRUs, their board voltages and their power supply status, manage hot swap operations, reboot them, etc.
P R E L I M I N A R Y
The AM4901 supports one standard RS-232 serial port, one Gigabit Ethernet uplink port for fabric interconnection and one Ethernet port for carrier management as well as a variety of high-speed interconnect topologies to the MicroTCA™ system, such as 12 SerDes connec­tions in the Gigabit Ethernet Fabric [A], one additional SerDes connection for the MCH update channel, 12 IPMB-L interfaces, two IPMB-0 interfaces, one Inter-MCH IPMB-L interface and one cross-over channel interface.

FEATURES SPECIFICATIONS
Module Management LEDs
LED1 (red): Out-of-Service LED
LED2 (red/green/amber): Health LED
HS LED (blue): The hot swap indicator provides basic feed-
back about the hot swap state of the module. The HS LED states are off, short blink, long blink, and on.
LEDs
Carrier Management LEDs
CMLED13 (green): Link signal from MCH update channel or the
MCMC
CMLED12..1 (green): Link signal from the AMC SerDEs ports or
the MCMC
CMLED0 (green): Indicates the input source for the
CMLED13..1 (Fabric [A] or MCMC)
MCMC IPMI integrated in the NXP® LPC2368 microcontroller
The MCMC receives the relevant IPMI events from the AMC modules
and carries out IPMI commands such as monitoring several onboard temperature conditions, board voltages and the power supply status, and managing hot swap operations
The MCMC is accessible via a local IPMB (IPMB-L) bus, the serial port
IPMI
Hot Swap Full hot swap capability via E-Keying:
or the Ethernet port
Hot swap capability of the AM4901 MCH
Hot swap capability for the installed AMC modules
Hot swap capability for the installed power modules and cooling units
Power Consumption See Chapter 4.2, “Power Considerations” for details.
Temperature Range Operational: -5 °C to +55 °C
Storage: -40 °C to +70 °C
Mechanical Single, Full-size AMC form factor
General
Dimensions 181.5 mm x 73.5 mm x 28.95 mm
