One Ethernet port is available on the front panel. Additional Ethernet ports for external access
are provided via the RTM.

The Ethernet controllers support I/O virtualization.

Storage Controller

Using an optional RTM, the Blade provides a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller. One on-
board hard disk drive located on the RTM is connected to the controller. A minimum of two (2)
ports are available on the RTM face plate. They can be used to attach an external storage RAID
(JBOD). Another SAS port of the controller is routed to ATCA Zone 3 for the purposes of
synchronizing with a RTM based disk located in a logically paired ATCA slot.

Embedded Flash Disk

The ATCA-7365 by default, provides an onboard USB Flash module (4GB) solid state disk. The
disk can keep data, application SW and OS boot images. Booting from the device is supported.
The flash disk controller provides a wear leveling algorithm to improve the longevity of the
flash device.

SATA Embedded Flash Solid State Disc (SSD)

ATCA-7365/SATA module which is available as an accessory kit.
