System Overview
1.1 Description
The AXP 1410 system is a high availability AdvancedTCA (Advanced Telecom Computing
Architecture) system. The PICMG 3.X AdvancedTCA Specifications define components for high-
performance services solutions. It is an architecture for highly-available and scalable high-
speed interconnect technologies.
A high-availability system consists of software and redundant hardware to ensure five-nines
(99,999%) uptime. This means that a system is unavailable for no more than 5.26 minutes per
year.
Your system is equipped with the following components
 Dual star backplane with base and fabric interface providing connector interfaces for
power distribution, input/output connectivity between front blades and mechanical
alignment and support
 Subrack providing attachment points for backplane, alignment, support and mechanical
engagement for insertion and extraction of front blades and RTMs
 Two Artesyn SAM1410 shelf manager boards with integrated alarm boards
Each AdvancedTCA blade and Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) provides connections to the
shelf manager through an Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB).
 12 node slots which can be equipped with AdvancedTCA blades
 Two hub slots which can be equipped with AdvancedTCA hub blades
 14 slots at the system's rear side which can be populated with 14 RTMs
These RTM connections provide user-defined input and output connectivity to the
corresponding front blades.
 Two DC hot swappable 2N+1 redundant Power Entry Modules (PEM)
 Fan Tray Modules (FTM)
 Alarm Display Panel (ADP) for telco alarms located on the front of the chassis
