System Overview

PDSI’s new Dual AMD Opteron™ ATCA® Blade with RTM Interface (ATCA-F1) provides a robust, high-performance general purpose compute platform for use in building AdvancedTCA® systems. Architected around AMD Opteron processors with HyperTransport™ technology, it features two “Socket F” CPU sockets that can be populated with either 2200 series dual-core or the latest 2300 series quad-core processors for ultimate computing power in the carrier-grade AdvancedTCA™ form factor.

This third generation blade features a new Zone 3 interface for connection to PDSi’s ATCA-RT01 rear transition module (RTM), which adds SAS storage, video, and USB resources. Other on-blade features include a Compact Flash site and an AdvancedMC™slot for additional I/O or further storage expansion. The ATCA-F1 complies with PICMG ATCA 3.0 and 3.1 specifications for seamless and dependable operation in critical applications, and includes Pigeon Point’s module management for IPMI support and board-level health monitoring.

PDSi gives telecom, aerospace, and military OEMs the ability to deploy configurable, scalable, high-reliability ATCA solutions using this powerful compute blade based on AMD’s latest Dual Core and Quad Core processor technology. Extended availability from PDSi is assured as key components are supported by embedded roadmaps. PDSi can also provide customization, turnkey integration and support of ATCA systems, as well as extended warranty and repair services.
