The Advanced Telecommunications Compute Architecture (AdvancedTCA) standards define open 
architecture modular computing components for 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 MPCBL0001 SBC is designed per the AdvancedTCA Design Guide for High Availability, 
Switched Network Computing. Bulk storage for the system is connected through optional dual 
Fibre Channel interfaces. The MPCBL0001FXX SBC includes a Fibre Channel controller. The 
MPCBL0001NXX SBC does not have the Fibre Channel controller.

This topic defines the architecture of the MPCBL0001 SBC through descriptions of functional 
blocks. 

 shows the functional blocks of the MPCBL0001 

SBC. The MPCBL0001 SBC is a dual processor, hot-swappable SBC with backplane connections 
to dual Gigabit Ethernet star networks and dual Fibre Channel star arbitrated loops.

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 MPCBL0001 SBC through two redundant -48 V power supply 
connections. Power for on-board hardware management circuitry is provided through a standby 
converter on the power mezzanine. This converter, along with all the other converters on the power 
mezzanine are fed by the diode OR'd -48 V supply from the backplane.

The SBC has provision for the addition of a PMC device and supports 32-bit and 64-bit transfers at 
33 MHz and 66 MHz. The SBC also offers one USB and one service terminal interface. An 
overview of each block follows.
