AM4901 AM4901 MCH for cost optimized MicroTCA solutions No-frills approach, still providing the essential features The two main functions of an MCH are system management standard LED indicators, there are status LEDs for 13 GbE (i.e. IPMI controlled power management, electronic keying, ports (Fabric [A] and MCH update channel) on the front, as hot-swap of AMCs) and Ethernet switching. The AM4901 well as RJ45 connectors for one management interface and provides those functions for up to 6 AMCs - designed one serial interface to access the management controller as a single PCB solution with one MCH tongue. Unlike in (MCMC). the telecommunication segment, where advanced feature For management functions the AM4901 contains a MCMC sets require managed switches with complex control LPC2368 with Kontron’s own IPMI software. The MCH software, such features are not required in most industrial supports IPMB-L links to up to 12 AMCs, I2C to the SEEPROM applications. The AM4901 contains an unmanaged BCM5396 on the backplane, and I2C as well as IPMB-0 [A:B] links for Ethernet switch, which allows to simplify the design power management and cooling. A JTAG connection is also and to improve costs (lower cost components, no switch provided. controller, no software for switch controller). The AM4901 represents a an MCH designed according Among the typical applications are image processing in the MicroTCA.0 with a cost improved design. It supports the industrial environment or medical environment, industrial Kontron family of cost optimized MicroTCA platforms, as control systems, information systems for trains and simple well as a range of other 3rd party platforms. The AM4901 communication systems without the need for managed helps customers to address with MicroTCA a broader range of switches. applications. The choice of the AM4901 is a perfect fit for The AM4901 provides one GbE uplink on front, and on designing a complete and highly versatile MicroTCA platform the edge connector 12x GbE for AMCs (Fabric [A]) plus that is cost-effective by focusing to the application needs. 1x GbE for the MCH update channel.

TERRIFIC RESOURCE
This company has been a terrific help to us (I work for Trican Well Service) in sourcing the Micron Ram Memory we needed for our Siemens computers. Great service! And great pricing! I know when the product is shipping and when it will arrive, all the way through the ordering process.

GO TO SOURCE
When I can't find an obsolete part, I first call GID and they'll come up with my parts every time. Great customer service and follow up as well. Scott emails me from time to time to touch base and see if we're having trouble finding something.....which is often with our 25 yr old equipment.
