2. Component Description

2.1 Shelf

The OM6040 is a single-tier, vertically oriented MicroTCA™ Cube shelf and can accommodate
up to four Single Mid-size AMC. For unused slots, dummy filler assemblies must be installed
to ensure proper air flow through the subrack. If required, these assemblies must be ordered
separately as they are not standard elements of the OM6040 shelf.

The shelf’s steel frame provides a robust housing for system components and airflow channel­ization over the system slots. It is wall-mountable for industrial environments, and it can be
placed on any flat surface. Always ensure that adequate spacing for proper cooling is provided.

The following figures illustrate the mechanical design of the OM6040 shelf.

Component Description OM6040

The topology of the OM6040 backplane permits a wide range of module configurations. There
are, however, some restrictions as to the use of particular module combinations.

If, for example, CPU modules are installed in both slots 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4), there must be no
SATA functionality active on AMC ports 2 and 3. If both CPUs have SATA active on these ports,
neither of the CPUs will not properly boot.

If PCIe functionality is implemented, by default, slot 1 is configured as the root complex. This
can be changed by setting appropriate PCIe configuration parameters in the MCH.

2.3 MicroTCA Carrier Hub - MCH

The OM6040 is supplied with an appropriate MCH installed at the factory. There are three pos­sible configrations which must be specified at the time the OM6040 is ordered.

There is a base MCH which supports only GbE Fabric, the second version supports GbE and
PCIe, and the third version provides GbE and SRIO.

3.2 Safety

The following precautions must be observed.

Caution, Electric Shock Hazard!

The OM6040 requires AC mains power in the range from 90 to 240 volts for
operation. Therefore, due caution must be exercised when handling or per­forming operations on the OM6040 when power is applied.

Failure to comply with the above could endanger your life or health and may
cause damage to the OM6040 or other system components including pro­cess-side signal conditioning equipment.

ESD Equipment!

The OM6040 contains electrostatic sensitive devices. Ensure that the follow­ing precautions are observed to avoid damaging the OM6040:

Discharge clothing before touching the assembly. Tools must also be dis­charged before use.

Do not touch any board components, connector pins, or board conductive cir­cuits.

If working at an anti-static workbench with professional discharging equip­ment, ensure compliance with its usage when handling this product.

3.3 Prerequisites

3.3.1 Cooling

The OM6040 requires forced-air cooling which is provided by the cooling fans located on the
bottom side of the subrack in the front and rear bay areas. Adequate ambient airflow to the fan
inlet areas must be ensured. In addition, the area above the subrack must also provide for ad­equate outlet airflow. Direct re-cycling of outlet air to the inlet area must be avoided to preclude
overheating of the system.

Warning!

Failure to comply with the above can result in improper operation or damage
to the OM6040 or other components installed in the OM6040.

Kontron rejects any and all liability for damage resulting from inadequate
cooling of the OM6040 or components installed in the OM6040.

Warning!

If the OM6040 is operated at temperatures above 45°C, ensure that an inlet
area and an outlet area of 1U (44.45 mm) are provided.

Failure to comply with the above may cause improper operation of or damage
to the OM6040.

3.3.2 Filler Panels

Filler panels for the OM6040 are available as required. Depending on solution requirements
these components may be removed or reconfigured as necessary.

3.4 Mounting

The OM6040 is supplied with a fixed mounting panel for installation in a system cabinet. This
will require mounting hardware which is not supplied with the OM6040.

For operation of the OM6040 on a flat surface, desktop or rack shelf, there are no special
mounting fixtures. In this case, for operation ensure adequate airflow to the OM6040. Care
must also be taken to ensure that the OM6040 cannot fall off of the flat surface.

3.5 Adding or Replacing OM6040 Components

Solution requirements determine the operational configuration of the OM6040. Therefore, it
may or will be necessary to add, remove, or reconfigure components.

Warning!

Remove power from the system before performing any reconfiguration of
these components.

Failure to comply with the above could endanger your life or health and may
cause damage to the OM6040 or other system components including pro­cess-side signal conditioning equipment.

Kontron rejects any and all liability for damage resulting from failure to
remove power before performing the above.

AMC modules are normally supplied with documentation which provides instructions or guide­lines on their installation or replacement. Please refer to their respective documentation for fur­ther assistance. For replacement of the MCH, refer to the MCH User Guide.

The power supply, fans and backplane are not user replaceable.

3.6 MCH/AMC Module Hot-Swapping

The OM6040 as such is designed to support hot-swapping under IPMI control. Hot-swapping,
however, is a function of the individual application requirements and the ability of system com­ponents (hardware and software) to support these requirements. Therefore, it is the responsi­bility of the system integrator to ensure the system operability and compliance with hot-swap
requirements prior to application implementation.

More specifically, for example, the MCH used supports hot-swapping of itself. This in return re­sults effectively in a power off and on cycling of the system as a whole. If this is not desired,
then precautions must be taken to ensure proper hot-swapping of system components.

3.7 AMC Connector Mating Cycles

The OM6040 backplane connectors and the AMC module card-edge connectors are designed
to support at least 200 insertion/extraction cycles. As systems used in a laboratory or develop­ment environment may exceed this number of mating cycles over the product life time, the
card-edge connector of each AMC module should be inspected for wear or damage before in­sertion or after extraction. If a card-edge connector exhibits excessive wear or damage, the
AMC module must be replaced to preclude improper operation of the system.
