For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a
long fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by
improper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own
safety and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are requested to conform
with the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled
personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Serious electrical shock hazards may exist during installation, repair
and maintenance operations with this product, for example when connecting or disconnecting external cabling with external voltages
applied. Therefore, the system integrator is responsible for ensuring
that no shock hazards exist during all operations.
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations
and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at
all times.
Warning!
This product has gold conductive fingers which are susceptible to contamination. Take care not to touch the gold conductive fingers of the
AMC Card-edge connector when handling the board.
Failure to comply with the instruction above may cause damage to the
board or result in improper system operation.
P R E L I M I N A R Y
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational purposes unless it is otherwise protected.

AM5500 Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 Board Overview
The AM5500 is a dual 2.5” SATA storage carrier implemented as a Double, Mid-size AMC
module. There are two front panel versions that may be used with the AM5500, a standard front
panel and a front panel with retaining screws for mounting the module to the chassis.
The AM5500 has full hot swap capability, which enables the board to be replaced, monitored
and controlled without having to shut down the AMC-supporting carrier or the MicroTCA system. A dedicated Module Management Controller (MMC) is used to manage the board and support a defined subset of Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) commands and
PICMG (ATCA/AMC) command extensions, which enables operators to detect and eliminate
faults faster at module level. This includes monitoring onboard temperature conditions, board
voltages, managing hot swap operations, etc. All in all, IPMI enhances the board’s availability
and reliability while reducing the operating costs and the mean-time-to-repair.
The AM5500 operates with the Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA® or A TCA) and the Micro Telecommunications Computing Architecture (MicroTCA
or µTCA) defined by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG).
1.2 System Relevant Information
The following system relevant information is general in nature but should still be considered
when developing applications using the AM5500.

Hardware Requirements The AM5500 can be installed on any AMC-supporting carrier board (with mechan-
ical restrictions) or MicroTCA backplane with the following AMC Card-edge connector port mapping:

Kontron performs comprehensive environmental testing of its products in accor-
P R E L I M I N A R Y
dance with applicable standards.
Customers desiring to perform further environmental testing of Kontron prod-
ucts must contact Kontron for assistance prior to performing any such testing.
This is necessary, as it is possible that environmental testing can be destructive
when not performed in accordance with the applicable specifications.
In particular, for example, boards without conformal coating must not be
exposed to a change of temperature exceeding 1K/minute, averaged over a
period of not more than five minutes. Otherwise, condensation may cause irreversible damage, especially when the board is powered up again.
Kontron does not accept any responsibility for damage to products resulting
from destructive environmental testing.
