AMC-S402  
Overview  
The AMC-S402 is an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) module which incorporates an 
enterprise class dual port SAS disk drive onto the module.  The module boasts several unique 
features intended to help embedded systems designers address both thermal and signal 
integrity design challenges associated with in-chassis ATCA and MicroTCA applications.   
The AMC-S402 includes new signal integrity ‘tuning’ circuits to adjust and optimize the high 
speed SAS serial links to best match the electrical routing environment of your specific ATCA 
or microTCA backplanes.  These signal wave-shape parameters are stored in non-volatile 
memory installed on the module. 
The AMC-S402 was developed as single-width AMC, with ship options for mid or full height 
panels.   All hard drives are 2.5” small form factor, and spin at a minimum 10,000 rotations 
per minute (RPM).  The AMC-S402 also includes a module management controller (MMC).
