Introduction
1.1
Overview
The
ATCA-F140
is a hub blade as defined
in PICMG
®
3.0 Revision 3.0 AdvancedTCA
®
Base Specification
and
PICMG 3.1 Revision 1.0 Specification Ethernet/Fiber Channel for
AdvancedTCA Systems
. It supports several base and fabric channel Ethernet interfaces to
the Zone 2 backplane. It also supports 1Gb, 10Gb, and 40Gb Ethernet uplinks to the front
panel and to a Rear Transition Module (RTM) through the Zone 3 connector. Broadcom
Ethernet switches and PHYs are used for the base and fabric channels. The entire blade is
managed by a NXP
®
QorIQ
®
P2020 Integrated Processor. The AMC bay on the blade is
designed to support a processor AMC module for additional applications processing
capabilities.
The
ATCA-F140-TCLK3
blade includes Telecom Stratum Clocking features. Please review
Appendix A, ATCA-F140-TCLK3 Information on page 125
for specific information regarding
the ATCA-F140-TCLK3.
The
ATCA-F140-D
blade is a ruggedized version of the ATCA-F140. It features attachment
blocks specifically designed to enable the blade to be secured in an AXP1440-D shelf.
Captive screws on the AXP1440-D are used to securely attach the ATCA-F140-D to the
backplane for use in rugged environments. The ATCA-F140-D is electrically identical to the
ATCA-F140. References to the ATCA-F140 in this manual also apply to the ATCA-F140-D.
