introduces the CO-Star for AdvancedTCA platform, offering superior
features and performance, all in a highly robust package. Designed to
meet NEBS Level III, the system focuses on high reliability, high
availability, easy
maintenance, and low cost of ownership. Features include an advanced
high capacity push-pull cooling scheme, high
performance shelf management, and a dual-star or full-mesh backplane
optimized for 3.125Gb/s and beyond. The CO-Star combines a high-pressure push-pull fan configuration with advanced software control, allowing operation at 200W per slot even in the event of a fan failure. Also included on the CO-Star is active RTM cooling for up to 30W per slot. Under normal operating conditions, fans speeds are reduced to provide quiet operation. In the event of a fan failure, fans speeds are increased to 130% to compensate for lost airflow. Fan trays also include an MTBF tracking sensor, alerting the host when fans approach the end of rated operating life. This unique feature allows fans to be replaced before failure, reducing unscheduled maintenance. At the heart of the design are two advanced backplane options. The dual-star version supports centralized switching through two center hub slots. A full-mesh version adds support for distributed switching. The fabric layout has been characterized and tested to provide link performance well beyond 3.125 Gb/s. For maximum reliability, the backplane includes bussed IPMB management connectivity. The shelf configuration board resides on the backplane and also contains an IPMC and is an active FRU. The backplane also serves as the main interconnect point for all FRU devices, nearly eliminating internal wire harness. The primary shelf management system is the Motorola M100, due in part to very low power consumption and small footprint. The M100 includes is an HPI and SNMP interface, as well as on-board RMCP server. The M100 provides redundant IPM controllers for IPMB0-A and IPMB0-B for exceptional reliability. M100 shelf management has proven interoperability with all available ATCA-compliant IPMI management schemes. Other shelf management systems can also be supported. The CO-Star is designed for high reliability with an emphasis on eliminating single points of failure. This goes beyond simply providing redundant fan trays or PEMs. Each shelf-level FRU also includes redundancy at the control circuit level, where an IPM Controller is located on both IPMB-A and IPMB-B buses. To ensure an even higher level of redundancy each IPM bus has a separate control processor with information sharing. These characteristics ensure that shelf reliability meets or exceeds 99.999% |
