The next figure shows the internal captive screws used to lock the Shelf Management
Module, SAM1620-D.
1.2 PICMG Compliance
The AXP1440-C07 is designed to be compliant with PCI Industrial Computers
Manufacturer’s Group (PICMG) specifications 3.0 and 3.1. The AXP1440-C07 also
provides support for Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) Specification, v2.0
for system management.
1.3 Shelf Topology
Topology refers to the shape of a network, or the network's physical layout. The way that
different nodes in a network are connected to each other and how they communicate are
determined by the network's topology.
The backplane of the AXP1440-C07 uses a dual star topology that supports two
independent networks. The dual star uses a point-to-point configuration with redundancy
added for reliability. All devices on a star network are connected to a central connection
point (hub). Nodes communicate across the network by passing data through the hub slot,
