Redundant connection between two shelf managers via backplane

Block transfer interface to the ShMC

Shelf management controller section with:

IPMB0-A and IPMB0-B interface to the backplane

Handle switch and status LED interface to the face plate

Support logic for testing and debugging as well as local and remote programming of all
programmable devices on the board.

Power supply

5-port Gigabit Ethernet hub

2.2

Payload Hardware

The payload hardware of the shelf manager is always powered when power supply is present.
During power-on, the ShMC keeps the payload in a reset state.

The following interfaces are available:

Three Ethernet interfaces

Two redundancy interfaces (serial)

Block transfer interface

2.2.1

Ethernet Interfaces

The shelf management part of the board has three Ethernet ports which are available
concurrently.

One 10/100 BaseT out-of-band interface is accessible via a RJ-45 connector at the face plate
marked with "MGMT ETH". Link and activity status LEDs are integrated into the connector.

Two 10/100 BaseT interfaces are connected to the backplane connector at the pins Eth1-Hub
Tx/Rx and Eth2-Hub Tx/Rx. They route the base interface to the hubs of both the ATCA-MF106
which in turn are connected to the node blades in dual star topology. They are compliant with
the PICMG 3.0 R3.0 specification (AdvancedTCA) for the base interface.
