Introduction Overview of ASIS Shelf Products 1 Introduction This chapter includes a summary of the Asis shelf product line and a brief overview of the Perform™ Series 5-Slot ATCA AC Shelf. For acronyms used in this document see Section 5.3.
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components 2 Understanding the Shelf Components This chapter summarizes the functional features of the Perform™ Series 5-Slot ATCA AC Shelf, and describes in further detail each of the components as well as the shelf system cooling mechanism.
Platform Components Figure 5 - Shelf Component Positioning In order to increase ASIS 5 slot ATCA AC Shelf reliability and to simplify the shelf’s format, only one of the boards installed in the Shelf has logic circuits in it. All other boards and FRU’s are passive.
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components Backplane 2.1.3 Features The ATCA PICMG 3.0-compliant backplane provides interconnectivity between the FRU's and card connectivity. It conforms to the PICMG 3.0 R2.0 AdvancedTCA Base Specification. Backplane features include: Five slots Fabric interface with full mesh interconnect. The Fabric Interface grid consists of eight differential pairs per channel;...
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components the Base, Fabric, and update-channel interface. This portion supports a full- mesh topology for both the Base and the Fabric interfaces. Update-Channel Connections The update channels are backplane connections between pairs of modules that operate on a redundant basis.
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components Synchronization Clock Interface The backplane supports a set of synchronization clock buses that can exchange synchronization timing information. This synchronization can be used for system-wide and intersystem synchronization purposes, which are important in some applications, such as those involving synchronous time division multiplex (TDM).
The field replaceable and hot swappable, 90 VAC to 240 VAC, power supplies are providing power to the shelf. The ASIS 5 slot ATCA AC Shelf is equipped with AC power inlets which are located in the rear for redundancy.
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components Each power supply is capable of supplying 1200w. One power supply is fully capable of supplying the power consumed by a fully occupied shelf. The use of the second power supply is for cases where redundancy is needed. Both power supplies are located in the lower part of the shelf.
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components Figure 12 – Power Supply Distribution of Power on Shelf Grounding Requirements and Power Input When connecting ground and power cables to the shelf, follow instructions in the beginning of this document. Fan Tray 2.1.6 The fan tray is a closed module containing eight 80x80mm fans that supply air volume and velocity for cooling the high-density/high-performance computing environment (see...
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components It is recommended to replace the fan tray as soon as possible. The fan tray is factory-mounted in the Perform™ Series 5-Slot ATCA AC Shelf. It is easily replaceable, and can be replaced while the shelf is operating. For more on shelf cooling, see Section 2.2.
Compliance with ATCA's temperature specifications requires a steady air flow in the shelf. To insure a steady air flow, either the Perform™ Series 5-Slot ATCA AC Shelf must be fully populated, or a blank panel, available from ASIS, must be equipped to fill every empty slot.
Understanding the Shelf Components Platform Components If the saved configuration matches one of the E²PROMs it is assumed to be the right one and it is stored in both E²PROMs. If the three configurations are all different, the Shelf manager board will not boot up.
Understanding the Shelf Components Shelf Cooling Shelf Cooling Overview 2.2.1 Perform™ Series 5-Slot ATCA AC Shelf complies with all the cooling requirements specified in PICMG V3.x specifications. The cooling system consists of eight high-performance fans. The air comes in from the right side and exits through the left side of the shelf.
Understanding the Shelf Components Shelf Cooling Performance 2.2.3 The eight fans supply air volume and velocity for cooling the high-density/high- performance computing environment. The cooling power of the fans can dissipate the heat generated by up to five front boards and complementary RTMs. At least 300W per front board and 30W for RTM per slot is supported.
