AMC-S402 Installation  

This chapter contains the procedures for installing and removing the AMC-S402 AMC 
module.  

2.1  Installation and Removal of the AMC-S402 Module 

The AMC-S402 AMC Module can be installed into an ATCA shelf (chassis) with slots 
designed to accept AMC.3 installations.  The module slot height must properly 

match the panel height fitted to the AMC.   

2.2  Important Information about Your Chassis 

The AMC-S402 is designed to PICMG specifications and is a general-purpose 
Advanced Mezzanine Card. Before using this board, review the specifications of the 

chassis and backplane that will house the module to determine the presence of, and 

any limitations of, chassis, IPMI bus, and user defined pin outs. For example, some 

chassis backplanes route certain I/O pins to internal resources such as alarm cards 
and drive resources. The AMC-S402 is intended for an ATCA AMC carrier card or 

MicroTCA chassis/backplanes/slots that are AMC.3 compliant. It is your 

responsibility to verify this system compatibility. Failure to do so could result in 

improper operation or equipment damage.  

2.2.1  Safety Statement 

The AMC-S402 is designed to comply with UL60950-1, and is intended to be used 
with similarly tested ATCA and MicroTCA products that have a user’s guide detailing 

user installation of AMC module accessories. 

2.2.2  Observe Maximum Module Current Requirements 

Be sure to validate the host chassis, and the intended AMC slot is able to meet the 
following maximum current requirements
