1.1Features of the ARTM-HD
The Netra CP32x0 SAS Storage Advanced Rear Transition Module HD (ARTM-HD) is a fully compatible, carrier-grade Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture® (ATCA) ARTM for ATCA blade servers designed to be compatible with the AdvancedRTM specification. The ARTM-HD is not compatible with ATCA cards that do not comply with this specification.
The 6 rack unit (6U) form factor, single-slot ARTM supplies either single or dual SAS hard disk drives, and rear I/O connections that support additional peripherals for use with compatible Netra ATCA blade servers. The rear I/O access enables you to replace the Netra ATCA blade servers without disconnecting cables. Industry-standard connectors and pin assignments ensure ease of use and flexible design. The ARTM-HD permits the creation of high-density systems by enabling easy access to I/O (FIGURE 1-1).
Features of the ARTM-HD include:
■Conforms to ARTM Interface specification
■Conforms to PICMG ATCA card specification for RTM cards
■RTM is hot-swappable to its blade server
■Either single or dual hot-swappable 146 GB SAS hard disk drive (HD)
■One LSI1068E PCIe to 8-Port SAS controller, flash device, and NVSRAM to support boot code and RAID support
■Infinband-style connectors for external drive support using a type SFF-8470 SAS cable
■Supports primary and secondary external connections
■PCIe x8 bus interface to blade server
■One asynchronous serial port to RJ45 connector
■One 10/100/1000 MBASE-T management port, with LEDS
■Vitesse VSC410 MMC
■25W Max power
■NEBS level 3 compliant
The ARTM-HD requires an ATCA shelf (chassis) with a midplane that accommodates front and rear blade server installations. The primary purpose of this module is to provide a single or dual SAS drive and rear access connections to the blade server’s I/O devices.
