Introduction

The Advantech MIC-5401 is a single-width/mid-size Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) designed to support a 2.5" SAS or SATA hard disk drive to work as an enterprise storage module on an ATCA platform or in a MicroTCA shelf. The 2.5" hard disk drive is connected to the AMC port 2 (SAS and SATA) and port 3 (SAS only) according to the AMC.3 specifications. Dual port SAS drives may be used on the MIC-5401 to increase the interface bandwidth of failover support between dual hosts in fault tolerant environments. Like all other standard AMC modules, an IPMI-based module management controller (MMC) is also implemented on the MIC-5401 to serve as a communication interface to the Carrier Management Controller on an ATCA platform, or to the MicroTCA Carrier Management Controller on the MicroTCA Carrier Hub in a MicroTCA shelf. As a local IPMI controller on the AMC, it manages all hot-swap activities, E-keying, and hardware heath monitoring such as voltages (12V, 5V, and management power 3.3V) and on-board temperatures (including hard disk drive’s ambient temperature). The MIC-5401’s mechanical design is optimized for a maximum of shock and vibration durability combined with a user- and service friendly mounting process for the disk drive.
