1 Safety The intended audience of this User’s Manual is system integrators and hardware/software engineers. 1.1 Safety Symbols used in this document Hazardous voltage! This is the electrical hazard symbol. It indicates that there are dangerous voltages inside the Shelf.
® 3.0 Revision 3.0 AdvancedTCA® Base Specification (www.picmg.org) 1.4 Product Definition The aTCA-81514PA is a 14-Slot AdvancedTCA® Shelf with 40G backplane connectivity. • 40G Dual Star backplane, bussed IPM interface, dedicated slots for two Shelf Managers. 1.5 Terms and Acronyms...
1.6 Hardware Platform The Shelf is 15 U high and 19“ rack mountable. The chassis is designed for easy access of any Field-Replaceable Units (FRU). • Powder‐coated 15U / 19“ chassis with front card cage for ATCA boards and rear card cage for ATCA RTM boards •...

2.1.5 Update Channel Interface The Update Channels are wired between two redundant ATCA Backplane slots as 10 differential pairs. The Update Channel is intended to pass information between two redundant ATCA Boards. Figure 3: Update Channels 2.2 Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) The Shelf uses an Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) for management communications among all ATCA Boards, the Fan Trays and the Shelf Managers.
2.3 Shelf SEEPROM The Shelf SEEPROM is a repository of the shelf-specific information, capabilities of the system and other user-configurable options. The SEEPROM contains as example: • a list of which slots are connected together • how the update channels are routed •...
2.5 Logic Ground Figure 6: Logic Ground The ATCA Backplane provides a mechanism to connect Logic Ground (GND) and Shelf Ground (Shelf_GND). You can connect/isolate Logic Ground by swapping two screws from position (A) to position (B). • Screws at position (A): Logic Ground and Shelf Ground connected.
3 Air Filter Figure 7: Air Filter 3.1 Introduction The ATCA Shelf provides a replaceable air filter located on top of the fan tray. The filter element is an open cell polyurethane foam special coating to provide improved fire retardation and fungi resistance.
4 Shelf Ground Connection ‐ Hazardous voltage! Before powering up the Shelf, make sure that the Shelf Ground terminals are connected to Protective Earth (PE) of the building. The ATCA Shelf provides a Shelf ground terminal at the left rear side. The Shelf ground terminal provides two threads (M6) with a 15.88 mm (5/8“) spacing between...
5 Fan Tray 5.1 Introduction The Fan Tray is an intelligent FRU controlled by the ShMCs via IPMB. The interchangeable Fan Tray is equipped with 8 high speed / high air flow fans controlled as a group by the IPM Controller in the Fan Tray.
Figure 10: Fan Tray 5.3 Fan Tray Connectors and Indicators The front panel includes a green Fan Tray OK LED, a red Fan Tray Fault LED, and a blue Hot Swap LED. The Hot Swap push button indicates to the Shelf Managers that the Fan Tray is about to be removed.
5.4 Fan Control The Fan Tray‘s on‐board IPM controller has three operation modes: Shelf Manager Mode: The Shelf Manager performs management of the Fan Tray through the two independent bussed IPMB connections. Board Control Mode: The fan tray is controlled by the board in any of the 14 board slots using the PICMG extended IPMI commands.

6 Power Hazardous voltage! Before working ensure that the power is removed from the power connection cables. Warning! The Power lines must be protected on site level with 16A breakers or 16A fuses. The Power Supplies are not included with the Shelf.
6.3 AC Power Supply Units (PSUs) The AC PSUs with front‐to‐back airflow are hot pluggable from the front side. The Shelf Manager can monitor the PSUs through the IPMC of the fan tray. The fan tray access the PSUs through an I2C bus to CAN bus bride on the Power Distribution Board, since the PSUs only support CAN bus communication.
6.4 Power Components Figure 14: Power Input AC Input PSU 4 AC Input PSU 3 AC Input PSU 2 AC Input PSU 1 AC power input is provided by 4 IEC 320‐C20 connectors at the rear side of the Shelf.
6.6 Power Branches Power branches within the Shelf originate from the PEM and powers all the blades, the Shelf Managers and the Fan Trays. The power is divided in four output branches towards the backplane. ‐ ‐ ‐ If the joint power capability of all ATCA boards assigned to a branch is...
7 Shelf Management The aTCA-81514PA is designed to work with two redundant Shelf Managers in dedicated Shelf Manager slots. Upon request a version with on-blade shelf management is available. With on-blade shelf management, the SEEPROMs on the backplane are connected to the internal I²C bus on the Fan Trays.
