The Advanced Telecommunications Compute Architecture (AdvancedTCA*) standards 

define open architecture modular computing components for a carrier-grade, 

communications network infrastructure. The goals of the standards are to enable 

blade-based modular platforms to be:

• cost  effective
• high-density
• high-availability
• scalable

These systems use a fabric I/O network for connecting multiple, independent processor 

boards, I/O nodes (e.g., line cards), and I/O devices (e.g., storage subsystem).

The MPCBL0010 Single Board Computer (SBC) is designed according to the 

AdvancedTCA Design Guide for High Availability, Switched Network Computing.

This topic defines the architecture of the MPCBL0010 SBC through descriptions of 

 shows the functional blocks of the MPCBL0010 SBC. The 

MPCBL0010 SBC is a hot-swappable SBC with backplane connections to gigabit 

Ethernet networks.

The SBC incorporates an Intelligent Platform Management Controller that monitors 

critical functions of the board, responds to commands from the shelf manager, and 

reports events.

Power is supplied to the MPCBL0010 SBC through two redundant -48 V power supply 

connections. Power for on-board hardware management circuitry is provided through a 

standby converter. This converter is fed by the diode OR'd -48 V supply from the 

backplane.

The SBC has provision for the addition of two AdvancedMC* devices and also offers one 

USB port and one service terminal interface (serial port). An overview of each block is 

shown in
