AMC Modules
AMC Module Damage
The two AMC bays only support AMC types/modules which are officially supported by Artesyn
(refer to
for a details). AMC modules installed into AMC bay
1 or 4 must not exceed a power dissipation of 35W. Installing and operating other AMC
modules may damage the AMC modules, the blade and an installed RTM including attached
devices.
Only install AMC modules into AMC bay B1 and B4 which are officially supported by Artesyn.
Consult your local Artesyn sales representative, if in doubt.
Limitation of Operating Temperature Range
Installing AMC modules with small operating temperature ranges into the ATCA-F120 may
further restrict the operating temperature range of the ATCA-F120.
Make sure that the operating temperature of any installed AMC modules and the ATCA-F120
as a bundle are within allowed limits.
Poor Shelf Cooling and EMC Compliance Violation
An empty AMC bay may result in poor shelf cooling and strong EMC radiation and thus lead to
EMC compliance violation.
Therefore, always cover empty or unused AMC bays with a filler panel.
Environment
Always dispose of used blades, system components and RTMs according to your country’s
legislation and manufacturer’s instructions.
