NATIVE-C8

The NATIVE-C8 is a 8U MTCA.0 system with 12 double mid-size (alternatively 10 single mid-size) AMC slots and can be operated with two double full-size MCHs.

It can be powered by up to two double full-size Power Modules. A further Power Module can have a height of 9HP when an optional JTAG module is mounted in the dedicated slot, or even 12 HP without JTAG module.

The NATIVE-C8 backplane includes point-to-point and fabric connections between AMCs and MCHs. Moreover, it features radial IPMB-L from both MCH slots to all AMC slots, and bused IPMB-0 among MCHs, PMs, and CUs.

The chassis is equipped with two hot-swap Cooling Units, which are accessible from the front, and an Air Filter.
