1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The OM6040 is a cost-optimized, compact and modular MicroTCA™ platform designed for the
implementation of high-performance MicroTCA™ solutions for industrial automation, energy
and medical applications.
The OM6040 single-tier MicroTCA™ Cube shelf consists of a MicroTCA™ backplane, an AC
power supply unit, two cooling fans, a Kontron Single Full-size MicroTCA™ Carrier Hub (MCH),
and four slots for accommodating up to four Single Full-size AMC modules with various config-
urations of AMC CPUs and peripheral devices. The components are enclosed in a chassis with
a wall-mount panel and two fixed feet allowing the OM6040 to either stand alone on any flat
surface in development environments or be fix mounted using the wall-mount panel. The
OM6040 is closed with the exception of the front slots and cooling air inlets on the bottom and
outlets on the top of the chassis.
The OM6040 is equipped with one large fan that provides forced-air cooling for the front slots
of the system, and a second, smaller fan that provides forced-air cooling for the power supply
and backplane in the rear area of the chassis.
The OM6040’s outstanding features are:
• MicroTCA™ Cube design
• Support for up to four Single Full-size AMCs
• Full-size MCH with up to three tongues
• Integrated, high-power, low-cost AC power supply unit (instead of high-cost power mod-
ules)
• Two integrated cooling fans
• MicroTCA™ backplane:
• Four Single, Full-size AMC module slots
• One three-tongue, Full-size MCH slot
• Fabric support: Gigabit Ethernet, PCI Express, Serial Rapid I/O, SATA/SAS
• Integrated generation of 3.3 VDC management power
• Payload power switching on mezzanine compatiblilty module
• Storage for FRU data
