Schroff MicroTCA System Safety11850-013
1 SafetyThe intended audience of this User’s Manual is system integrators and hardware/software engineers.
1.1 Intended Application
The MicroTCA System, described in this manual, is intended as a test platform for AMC modules and not fully compliant to PICMG MicroTCA Base specification.
AMC Ports 12 to 15 and 17 to 20 and TCLKC and TCLKD are connected to 0.1“ (2.54 mm) pitch headers located at the back side of the backplane. The clock routing between the slots is also jumper-configurable.
1.2 General Safety Precautions
• Service personnel must know the necessary electrical safety, wiring and connection practices for installing this equipment.
• For additional information about this equipment, see the PICMG MicroTCA Specification (www.picmg.com).
1.3 References and Architecture Specifications
• PICMG® MicroTCA® Base Specification(www.picmg.com)
• PICMG® AMC® Base Specification(www.picmg.com)
Warning!Voltages over 60 VDC can be present in this equipment. This equipment isintended to be accessed, to be installed and maintained by qualified and trained service personnel only.
Danger of electrostatic discharge!The System contains static sensitive devices. To prevent static damage you must wear an ESD wrist strap.

3.2 Fabric Interface
3.2.1 AMC Ports 0 to 11
AMC Ports 0 to 11 are direct slot to slot connections (See Topology).
3.2.2 AMC Ports 12 to 15 and 17 to 20
AMC Ports 12 to 15 and 17 to 20 are connected to 0.1“ (2.54 mm) pitch headers.
The 20-pin headers (X1...X8) are located at the back side of the backplane between the slots.
3.3 Synchronization Clock InterfaceAll clocks are routed in a bused topology from slot 1 to slot 4, but an individual connection can be made by jumpers (See Topology).
TCLKC and TCLKD are also routed to headers X1 ...X8.
3.4 IPMB-LSDA-L and SCL-L is routed from each slot to a header (X15) at the backside of the backplane.
3.5 JTAGThe JTAG signals are routed from each slot to headers (X16...X19) at the backside of the backplane
3.6 Power Management12 V payload power and 3.3 V management power is provided by an ATX industrial power supply. The system monitors the +5V and the Power OK output of the power supply. As soon as all voltages are present, the system will set the “Enable“ inputs of all AMCs with a cascaded delay of 1 s to ground. A LED will show the activity of each slot.
All “Enable“ inputs can be controlled independently by a switch on the front panel.

4 Power SupplyIn order to be independent from an external power source, the MicroTCA system provides an ATX Power Supply with wide range 90 VAC - 264 VAC input.
The power input is provided by an IEC 320-C14 connector and mains/line switch.
A DC (soft) switch is located on the front panel.

Schroff MicroTCA System Airflow11850-013
5 AirflowEight 5 V Fans (29 m³/h (17 CFM) each) are located below the card cage.
The air enters the system at the bottom panel into the Fan Tray and passes across the hot components on the AMCs. Heat is carried away by forced convection. The air exits the system at the top.
6 Top Cover RemovalThe top cover and the upper card cage can be removed to install double AMC boards.
Figure 11:
1 Remove the side panels and the top cover
2 Remove all screws marked by arrows
3 Remove the upper cardcage
