2.2.14 On-board Storage Chip
An on-board 1 GB storage chip consisting of a USB flash controller and non-volatile
NAND flash memory can generally be used as a normal single fixed disk. It can be
used for boot and/or storage on the Linux OS. It can also be write-protected. This
option is provided through a BIOS setup item (enable/disable USB Flash Disk write
protection).
2.2.15 Compact Flash Expansion Module (Optional)
An on-board CompactFlash expansion module is available as an option. Either a
type-I or type-II CF card can be used. A SATA-PATA converter chip is implemented
on the module since the Intel 3100 chipset does not have a built-in PATA interface. In
applications where the AMC module boots over the Ethernet (PXE boot) or uses the
SATA port on the AMC connector to connect to a boot device, this adapter will not be
required and may be omitted to enhance the thermal characteristics as well as to
reduce cost.
2.2.16 Trusted Platform Module (Optional)
As an option, a Trusted Platform Module can be available on the board. It provides
single chip, turnkey solution, enabling high levels of hardware security and interoper-
ability, while maintaining exceptional user convenience and privacy for embedded
applications. It implements version 1.2 of the Trusted Computing Group specification
for Trusted Platform Modules. The chip communicates with the system through the
LPC interface.
2.2.17 Handle Switch
A handle switch is implemented to facilitate the insertion, locking, and extraction of
the AMC module from the carrier board in addition to the state change of the hot
swap micro-switch. When the handle is pushed towards the front panel by the user,
the switch is toggled to confirm AMC insertion. On the other hand, when the handle is
pulled away from the front panel, the micro-switch will resume its original position to
indicate a request for AMC extraction to the Module Management Controller (MMC).
The MMC sends a Module Hot Swap event message to the Carrier IPMC when the
hot swap micro-switch changes state. The handle switch type and location are
designed according to the PICMG AMC.0 Rev2.0 specification.
