2 AMC-S402 Installation
This chapter contains the procedures for installing and removing the AMC-S402 AMC
module.
2.1 Installation and Removal of the AMC-S402 Module
The AMC-S402 AMC Module can be installed into an ATCA shelf (chassis) with slots
designed to accept AMC.3 installations. The module slot height must properly
match the panel height fitted to the AMC.
2.2 Important Information about Your Chassis
The AMC-S402 is designed to PICMG specifications and is a general-purpose
Advanced Mezzanine Card. Before using this board, review the specifications of the
chassis and backplane that will house the module to determine the presence of, and
any limitations of, chassis, IPMI bus, and user defined pin outs. For example, some
chassis backplanes route certain I/O pins to internal resources such as alarm cards
and drive resources. The AMC-S402 is intended for an ATCA AMC carrier card or
MicroTCA chassis/backplanes/slots that are AMC.3 compliant. It is your
responsibility to verify this system compatibility. Failure to do so could result in
improper operation or equipment damage.
2.2.1 Safety Statement
The AMC-S402 is designed to comply with UL60950-1, and is intended to be used
with similarly tested ATCA and MicroTCA products that have a user’s guide detailing
user installation of AMC module accessories.
2.2.2 Observe Maximum Module Current Requirements
Be sure to validate the host chassis, and the intended AMC slot is able to meet the
following maximum current requirements
