Adlink Technology has introduced the aTCA-6900 AdvancedTCA (ATCA) CPU blade, featuring an Intel 5100 chipset, two quad-core Intel Xeon processors and two PICMG standard AMC bays for high-speed I/O.

With the Intel 5100 chipset supporting up to 32GB DDR2-667 RDIMM memory, dual 10Gigabit Ethernet links enabling high-speed board-to-board data transfer rates up to 20 Gps, and an optional onboard 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch-on-chip, the aTCA-6900 is suitable for a variety of carrier-grade applications, including wireless infrastructure as well as media servers in IPTV and IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) broadband networks.

It is a cost-effective product for telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) and network equipment providers (NEPs).

It also brings RAID 0/1/5-enabled SAS/SATA storage-device support via AMC bays and rear transition module (RTM) for mission-critical applications, and a fabric interface riser site to support different PICMG 3.x fabric options, such as PICMG 3.1 10GbE links, PICMG 3.1 FC/GbE links or PICMG 3.4 PCI-Express lanes.

The two mid-size AMC bays support AMC.1 PCI-Express, AMC.2 Gigabit Ethernet and AMC.3 SATAS storage for versatile I/O expansion.

It features the latest Intel 5100/ICH9R chipset, with two 64-bit quad-core Intel Xeon processor L5408 or two dual-core Intel Xeon processor LV5138.

A fabric riser card supports dual PICMG 3.1 option 9 10GbE ports as factory default.

Two PICMG standard single-width mid-size AdvancedMC bays are compliant with AMC.1 Type1/4, AMC.2 E2/Type3 and AMC.3 S2 SATAS for versatile I/O expansion.

Onboard storage options include 4GB soldered USB NAND flash, 2.5" SATAS AMC HDD and SATAS RTM HDD.

The optional onboard 24-port GbE switch brings IP traffic-routing options across AMC.2 ports, base interface channels, fabric interface channels, front/rear egress ports and update channels.

Front panel I/O includes two RJ-45 GbE, three USB v2.0, RJ-45 serial port and DB-15 analogue graphics.
