Product Overview
The AM4211 is an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) from Kontron supporting the Cavium OCTEON II CN6645
Network Service Processor. It is cost and performance competitive with other NSP AdvancedMC cards
featuring similar number of cores and process technology. The big advantage of the Cavium NSP is it’s broad
market acceptance and large ecosystem solution providers. It is also an excellent choice for future upgrade
to the existing Cavium OCTEON Plus AM42xx series offered by Kontron.
The AM4211 is a 10 GbE card with one 10 Gb Ethernet port on front panel using a SFP+ cage and software
configurable Interfaces to the Fabric side (one PCIe/SRIO on ports 4 to 7 and one PCIe/SGMII/XAUI on ports
8 to 11).
Two Gigabit Ethernet Ports are connected to ports 0 and 1 of the AMC connector.
A debug port is accessible via a low profile serial port connector on front plate or AMC port 15 of Extended
Option Region. Two different UART can be routed at the same time in two differents places (ex: CPU UART0 to
front, CPU UART1 to rear).
An eUSB mezzanine that has a capacity of up 16 GB is available for storage.
