1. Introduction

The Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) described in this manual operates with the Advanced Telecommunica-

tions Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA® or ATCA) and the Micro Telecommunications Computing Archi-

tecture (MicroTCA or uTCA) defined by the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG). The main

advantages of AdvancedTCA include high throughput, multi-protocol support, high-power capability, hot

swappability, high scalability, and integrated system management. For further information regarding the Ad-

vancedTCA/MicroTCA standards and their use, please consult the complete AdvancedTCA specification or visit

the PICMG web site.
