ATCA-7368 Installation and Use (6806800M12D) 31
Introduction
1.1 Features
ATCA-7368 is a high performance single processor AdvancedTCA Server blade and Node
board, designed according to PICMG 3.0 Revision 3.0 Advanced TCA Base Specification. The
ATCA-7368 is a single board computer that offers a powerful processing complex through a
single six-core Intel Westmere-EP processor, and support for up to 48GB DDR3 memory.
Furthermore ATCA-7368 provides local storage (Onboard SATA disk/SATA Cube, onboard flash
disk, or through the RTM), standard I/O and redundant Gigabit Ethernet connections to the
back plane's Base Interfaces (PICMG3.0) and Fabric Interfaces (PICMG 3.1 Option1,9). Another
important feature is that ATCA-7368 provides AMC support and is compatible with different
AMC boards to meet application-specific requirements. The ATCA-7368 provides system
management capabilities and is hot swap compatible based on the ATCA specification.
