1.1 Features

The Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC is a fully compatible, carrier-grade Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture^{® (ATCA) RTM for ATCA node boards designed to be compatible with the AdvancedRTM specification and is not compatible with ATCA cards that do not comply with this specification.}

The Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC transitions an ATCA node board’s I/O signals from the Zone 3 (user zone) connectors to standard I/O interfaces. The node board drives the LAN and Serial Management ports, as well as the Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) SFPs, using the Zone 3 I/O. There is a x8 PCI-Express (PCI-E) link connected to a switch which drives downstream x4 ports to the Fibre Channel and GbE controllers as well as the PCI-E cable connector.

The Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC maximizes communications I/O for GbE networks by providing four fixed 10/100/1000BASE-T copper ports and two user-configurable SFP ports on a single module.

The rear I/O access enables replacement of the Netra ATCA node board without disconnecting cables. Industry-standard connectors and pin assignments ensure ease of use and flexible design. The Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC permits the creation of high-density systems by enabling easy access to I/O.

See FIGURE 1-1 for an illustration of the Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC.

Features of the Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC include:

ATCA RTM form factor per ATCA specifications, see Chapter 2

1.2 Standards Compliance

The Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC is compliant with the following specifications:

PICMG® 3.1 from the ATCA Specification

PCI Express® 2.0 Base Specification Revision 0.9

PCI-E External Cabling Specification Rev. 1.0

1.3 I/O Interfaces

The Netra CP32x0 ARTM-FC installs into the rear of the ATCA enclosure, opposite an ATCA node board designed for compatibility with the AdvancedRTM specification. The ARTM-FC connects to the node board’s Zone 3 rear connectors directly. The ARTM-FC supports four fixed GbE ports (copper RJ-45), two Fibre Channel ports (SFP), one x4 PCI-E port, two modular GbE ports (SFP), one LAN management port (RJ-45), and one serial management port (RJ-45) on the front panel.
