Overview

This chapter introduces the key features of the AMC.0-LED. This chapter includes a product definition, a list of product features, and functional block diagrams with brief descriptions.

This chapter contains the following topics:

Section 2.1, Features

Section 2.2, Key Components

Section 2.3, AMC.0-LED Functional Block

Section 2.4, AMC.0-LED Port Map

Section 2.5, Technical Support and Warranty

2.1 Features

Part of Sun’s ATCA platform, the Sun Netra CP3240 AMC.0-LED complies with PICMG 3.0 AdvancedTCA Specification AMC.0 R2.0.

The AMC.0-LED is an AMC board designed to provide the port status of Netra CP3240 switch ports via LEDs.

The following briefly outlines the features of the AMC.0-LED:

27 numbered bicolor LEDs, each representing a port

2 LEDs representing the current set of ports displayed (Base or Fabric)

A momentary push button to change between displaying Base and Fabric ports

Hot-swap ability and IPMI management

FPGA for configurable LED output

Support for HPM.1 compliant firmware upgrades

2.2 Key Components

The following sections describe key components of the Sun Netra CP3240 AMC.0-LED.

2.2.1 Lattice MachXO

A Lattice MachXO is used to perform the serial-to-parallel conversion of the port status data.

2.2.2 Port LEDs

Each port has one LED. The LEDs are bicolor and represent the speed, activity, and link status of the ports. For descriptions of LED ports, see Section 2.4, AMC.0-LED Port Map.

2.2.3 Push Button for Base or Fabric LEDs

Only either the Base or Fabric port LEDs are shown at one time. The Base and Fabric LEDs indicate which set of ports is currently being displayed. The push button can be pressed to switch between the Base or Fabric set of ports.

2.2.4 Pigeon Point BMR-AVR-AMCm AdvancedMC IPMI Subsystem

The AMC.0-LED uses the near industry standard Pigeon Point Systems BMR-AVR-AMCm for dedicated IPMI management. It controls all interaction between the AMC.0-LED and the ATCA carrier or uTCA management controller. It fully supports the AMC.0 R2.0 specifications. The BMR-AVR-AMCm provides all required management for the AMC.0-LED modules in addition to the voltage monitoring, temperature monitoring, e-Keying, and other services it provides for the AMC.0-LED. Pigeon Point Systems is the leading provider of IPMI firmware for PICMG, and its firmware has been thoroughly tested to be fully compliant with the specification.
