System Overview

PDSI’s Dual AMD Opteron® Socket F AdvancedTCA® Blade (ATCA-F0) provides a robust, high-performance general purpose compute platform for use in building AdvancedTCA® systems. Architected around AMD’s x86-based Opteron™ 2200/2300 series, it features two “Socket F” CPU sockets that can be populated with either dual-core or the latest quad-core processors for ultimate computing power in the carrier-grade AdvancedTCA™ form factor.

The ATCA-F0 complies with PICMG ATCA 3.0 and 3.1 specifications for seamless and dependable operation in critical applications. It features onboard Compact Flash or 1.8 inch HDD boot drive options in addition to an AdvancedMC™slot for additional I/O or further storage expansion. It also includes Pigeon Point’s module management for IPMI support and 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.
