VRM-MCH (AdvancedMC)

The VRM-MCH is a MicroTCA Carrier Hub in a form factor of a single width double height Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC). It provides the central management and data switching entity for all MicroTCA systems. The VRM-MCH comprises of a base module and numerous optional daughter cards which can be mounted on the base module. The VRM-MCH is MicroTCA.0 R1.0 compliant and delivers switching and hub functionality for the various system fabrics as defined in the AMC.x standard series, i.e. Gigabit Ethernet, PCI-Express (PCIe), Serial Rapid I/O (SRIO) or Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).
