Shorter lead times. Material cost savings. Faster time-to-market. Lower development cost. IN A KIT
Through a collaborative effort between Carlo Gavazzi Computing Solutions (CGCS), Intel, ZNYX Networks and Arrow comes a bundled solution to make your life easier.

The scalability and open standards required by the telecommunications, military, and medical industries calls for an AdvancedTCA® (ATCA) solution. You knew this. And you also knew it required contacting several suppliers to build it. Now it takes one call to Arrow.

At 60% cost savings*, the ATCA Starter Kit includes:

  • 5U AdvancedTCA Chassis
  • AdvancedTCA compliant
  • Shelf Management System
  • (2) Intel NetStructureTM SBCs
  • ZNYX Networks Switch
The ATCA Starter Kit will only be available for a limited time.


The Chassis
  • 5U, six-slot, full mesh backplane that supports the AdvancedTCA PICMG 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5 specifications.
  • AdvancedTCA compliant Shelf Management System
The Switch
  • Intel® IXE5416 Gb Ethernet Switch Fabric provides a single-chip, non-blocking fabric capable of switching up to 24 million packets per second
  • 10/100/1,000 Mbps Ethernet for up to 12 payload slots, 3 egress ports, and a dedicated link to the redundant fabric slot
  • OpenArchitect/IXE 3.0 provides a complete ethernet networking environment that helps facilitate application development
The Node Processor
  • Dual-processor Low Voltage Intel® Xeon™ processors for demanding wireless and telecom infrastructure applications OEM Computing Solutions
  • Integrated 512 KB L2 Cache
  • Support for 4-plus GB DDR-266 ECC registered SDRAM via four DIMM sockets
