1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The ADLINK aTCA-9710 is a high performance AdvancedTCA® (ATCA) processor blade
featuring dual 12-core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2658 v3, Intel® C612 Chipset, eight-
channel memory up to 256GB of DDR4 memory and 400W power supply subsystem. Versatile
connectivity includes four 40GbE Fabric Interfaces, dual GbE Base Interfaces, dual front panel
10GbE egress ports, front panel dual COM and USB 2.0 ports and front panel VGA connector.
An onboard SATA connector supports a mSATA up to 256GB and the optional RTM (aTCA-
R9700) supports six 10GbE SFP+ ports and one hot-swappable SATA bay providing additional
network throughput and storage capacities.
The aTCA-9710's thermal solution (including VRM heat sink) ensures stable operation under
extreme operating environments and allows for compliance to the NEBS Level 3 standard
(design only). The robust computing power and reliability of the aTCA-9710 meets the
requirements of telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) and network equipment providers
(NEPs), allowing them to build the next-generation telecom networks and communication
infrastructures.
Detailed features are outlined below and a functional block diagram is shown in the next
section.
