1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The OM6062R is a low cost, flexible concept for implementing high performance MicroTCA™
solutions for industrial automation and medical applications. Based on an AMC Double Module
design, the OM6062R provides very extensive configuration capabilities not found in
conventional MicroTCA™ shelves.
The design concept is simple:
• Double-width, single-tier, MicroTCA™ cube format (supports MicroTCA.1 module to sub-
rack retention devices)
• Integrated, pluggable, high power, low cost Power Supply Unit (instead of high cost PM)
• Custom backplane:
• Six Double, Mid-size AMC module slots
• Fabric support: Gigabit Ethernet, PCIe, SATA
• Power switching and fan control integrated in backplane
• Uses power planes for power distribution
• AMC module power switching as near as possible to backplane AMC connector
• Flexible support for low cost MCH functionality
• Standard: single tongue, Gigabit Ethernet Fabric switching MCH (Kontron’s AM4901
and AM5901 Single / Double, Full-size AMC module form format)
• Optional: third party MCH (requires optional mezzanine Compatibility Module mount-
ed on the backplane)
• Cooling fans integrated in shelf
The OM6062R supports up to six, Single or Double Mid-size AMC Modules with various pos-
sible configurations of AMC CPUs and peripheral devices. A single pluggable Power Supply
Unit is integrated along with a Double Full-size AMC form factor MCH module slot. The back-
plane provides GigaBit Ethernet Fabric interfacing, PCIe x1 lane interfacing, two ports of SATA
interfacing between adjacent slot pairs, power switching support (PM functionality), PCIe clock,
fan control, and storage for FRU data. An optional backplane mezzanine Compatibility Module
is available to support a third party MCH. Four regulatable fans provide forced-air cooling for
the system.
Although the backplane is single-width, the chassis itself is double-width. The space above the
backplane is closed off flush with the backplane.
1.2 Components
The OM6062R shelf is comprised of the following elements:
• Chassis
• Backplane
• Subrack
• Power Supply Unit (PSU)
• Fans
