California Proposition 65 Position Statement
California Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act of 1986, was enacted in November 1986. The proposition aims to protect
individuals in the state of California and the state’s drinking water and environment from
excessive exposure to chemicals known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. The state maintains a list of such chemicals.
Businesses are required to provide a clear and reasonable warning before knowingly and
intentionally exposing individuals in the state of California to a listed chemical. A warning
is not required if the anticipated exposure level will not pose a significant risk of cancer or
is significantly below levels observed to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
VIAVI products contain chemicals such as lead and lead compounds that are listed by the
state of California as causing cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. However,
VIAVI products are intended for use in occupational settings only and are not for consumer
sale or use. Therefore, exposure to the hazardous chemicals in VIAVI products is
considered “occupational exposure”. Commercial customers who purchase products for
use in occupational settings in the state of California, please refer to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov for more information on the warning requirements.
Notice:
The information provided in this statement is intended for informational purposes only and
is not intended to be a representation or warranty of any kind, nor is it intended to modify
in any way the terms and conditions of any agreement between your company and VIAVI,
or the rights of either party arising therefrom.

This symbol indicates a note that includes important supplemental
information or tips related to the main text.
This symbol represents a general hazard. It may be associated with either
a DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION or ALERT message. Refer to
accompanying information and/or documentation.
This symbol indicates a toxic hazard. Item should only be handled by
Qualified Service Personnel. Dispose of item in accordance with local
regulations.

Toxic Hazards
WARNING
Some of the components used in this Device may include resins and other materials
which give off toxic fumes if incinerated. Dispose of such items appropriately.
Avertiseement
Certains des composants utilisés dans cet appareil peuvent comprendre des résines et
d’autres matériaux qui produisent des émanations toxiques lorsqu’ils sont incinérés.
Éliminez adéquatement de tels éléments.
Beryllia
Beryllia (beryllium oxide) is used in the construction of some of the components in this
equipment.
This material, when in the form of fine dust or vapor and inhaled into the lungs, can cause
a respiratory disease. In its solid form, as used here, it can be handled safely, however,
avoid handling conditions which promote dust formation by surface abrasion.
Use care when removing and disposing of these components. Do not put them in the
general industrial or domestic waste or dispatch them by post. They should be separately
and securely packed and clearly identified to show the nature of the hazard and then
disposed of in a safe manner by an authorized toxic waste contractor.
Beryllium Copper
CAUTION
Some mechanical components within this instrument are manufactured from beryllium
copper. Beryllium copper represents no risk in normal use. The material should not be
machined, welded or subjected to any process where heat is involved.
Beryllium copper must NOT be disposed of by incineration. Beryllium copper must be
disposed of as “special waste” per local regulations.

About this Guide
Safety Hazards
Lithium
A Lithium battery is used in this equipment. Lithium is a toxic substance so the battery
should in no circumstances be crushed, incinerated or disposed of in normal waste. Do
not attempt to recharge this type of battery. Do not short circuit or force discharge since
this might cause the battery to vent, overheat or explode.
CAUTION
This device contains a Lithium Battery and may require special packaging and external
labeling when shipping. Contact Customer Service for packaging and labeling
instructions.
Mise en Garde
Cet appareil contient une batterie au lithium et peut nécessiter un conditionnement
spécial et un étiquetage externe lors de l’expédition. Communiquez avec le service à la
clientèle pour les instructions d’emballage et d’étiquetage.
Electrical Hazards
Grounding the Module
The Chassis is provided with a protective grounding lead that conforms with IEC Safety

About the mA-3011
About the mA-3011
The mA-3011 AXIe Embedded Host Module provides a compact and integrated solution
for AXIe-based deployments by eliminating the need for an external host processor for
module control. The mA-3011 is a single form-factor module that supports AXIe-1 Revision
3.0 Specifications for Wide PCI Express® Fabric Extensions and Gen3 PCIe data rates.
The mA-3011 provides a single high-performance Intel i7 quad-core processor: the
mA-3012 provides a dual high-performance Intel i7 processor..
Figure 1 mA-3011 Embedded Host Module
Standard mA-3011 configuration provides 8 GB of DDR3-1600 RAM and a 128 GB
SATA-III solid-state drive; configuration options support 16 GB of DDR3-1600 RAM and a
256 GB SATA-III solid-state drive.
Hardware
The module’s Intel i7 4700EQ chipset provides powerful quad-core processing. The
mA-3011 utilizes Hyper-Threading Technology to support simultaneous execution of up to
eight threads. The mA-3011 contains a CPU Carrier Module and a high-performance,
multi-core processor. The CPU Carrier Module contains an embedded micro controller
which supports Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) stack functions.
Front Panel I/O connections include four USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connections a DisplayPort
Connector, Audio I/O Connectors and a Gb Ethernet Connector. The USB and DisplayPort
connections are routed directly from the COM Express module to the Front Panel. The
Front Panel Gb Ethernet connection is provided by an L2 packet switch, which also bridges
the Backplane Ethernet to the COM Express module. The Audio I/O connectors are routed
to a high definition audio codec via analog scaling and filter functions provided on the CPU
Carrier Module.
mA-3011 external interfaces include a RJ45 GB Ethernet connector, four USB 3.0 SS
connectors, high-definition audio microphone and speaker jacks, and DisplayPort
connection driven by the embedded Intel HD Graphics 4600 accelerator capable of
resolutions up to 3840 x 2160. The mA-3011 also provides the capability to install a
standard form-factor 3/4 length x16 PCIe card to expand system processing and I/O
functionality.

Firmware
The mA-3011 contains a programmable micro-controller that interfaces to the ShMC (Shelf
Management Controller) as an IPMC (Intelligent Platform Management Controller). The
IPMC performs the following functions:
• Manages power states, cooling requirements, and backplane interface requirements
• Manages the power on/off control of the COMe-bHL6 module to prevent file system
• Notifies the ShMC that the mA-3011 is a host device via E-Keying records, and thus
Software
The mA-3011 provides general purpose processing capability in an AXIe format which
supports standard operating systems applicable to x86-64 architecture (Microsoft
Windows® 7, Linux, VxWorks, etc). Installed Viavi drivers allow for the orderly startup,
shutdown, reboot, and thermal management of the mA-3011 via the standard AXIe IPMI.

PCIe Slot(1)
The PCIe Slot is a standard 3/4 length auxiliary PCIe slot that supports optional PCIe
devices. The PCIe Slot is configured to allow PCIe card I/O Connectors to be accessible
from the 301x's front panel.
Audio I/O Connectors (2)
Audio Input
The Audio Input Connector is a 3.5 mm input jack that provides for single-ended L/R stereo
input with a 100 kOhm resistor to ground. Audio Input circuitry provides ESD protection
and a unity gain stage buffer to the stereo L/R signals.
Audio Output
The Audio Output Connector is a 3.5 mm output jack that provides single-ended L/R stereo
output. Audio Output circuitry provides DC coupled stereo output and gain stage buffering
that compensates for signal loss during filtering.
Gb Ethernet Connector(3)
The RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) Connector provides 10/100/10000 Base-T
Ethernet connectivity between the COM Express Module and the shelf base fabric. The
GbE Connectors should be used to connect peripheral equipment to the 301x Module; the
Chassis's Ethernet connector should be used to establish a wired network connection.
