2.1 Introduction
The 4-slot SCHROFF MicroTCA System is designed to accommodate two double Mid-size AMC
modules with RTM and 2 Single Mid-size AMCs for maximum computing power in minimal
space.
The integrated eMCH (Embedded MicroTCA Carrier Hub), power supply and cooling unit
allow easy servicing.
The SCHROFF MTCA.4 1U System contains power and cooling management mechanisms to
ensure a high degree of reliability.
The system components are linked directly to the existing network infrastructure using an
1 GbE switch connected to an 1 GbE uplink.
The System allows the integration of an optional 3rd party eCLK module that routes external
clock and trigger signals to the AMC slots.
Features:
• Shielded steel case
• 2 AMC Double Mid-size slots with RTM slots
• 2 AMC Single Mid-size slots
• MicroTCA Backplane
• EMCH (Embedded MicroTCA Carrier Hub) with GbE uplink and USB
• Power management controller on the backplane
• Built-in fan unit with MTCA Cooling Unit Management
• Side-to-side cooling with air filter
• Integrated 400 W AC Power Supply with wide range AC input and 12 V DC output.
• AC mains/line module with IEC 60320-C14 connector, integrated mains/line fuses and
mains switch
• 1 U height, 19” width, 373 mm depth
• Fat pipe /extended fat pipe lanes prepared for 40 GbE and PCIe Gen3
Note:
To achive a maximum height of 1 U, the card cage is installed rotated by 180°.
This must be considered when installing the AMC modules!
