The chassis features dual MicroTCA Carrier Hubs (MCHs), dual redundant power supplies, a JTAG switch module and a Telco Alarm. As part of the MicroTCA specification, the ability for redundancy and failover with hot swappability throughout the system is provided by the MCH.
The backplane can route multiple fabrics, including PCIe (up to Gen 3), 40/10GbE and SAS/SATA ports. Although the MicroTCA.4 architecture is designed primarily for high energy physics applications, it is suitable for a range of Mil/Aero, broadcast and networking applications.
