Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture[1] is the largest specification effort in the history of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG), with more than 100 companies participating. Known as AdvancedTCA, the official specification designation is PICMG 3.x (see below). AdvancedTCA is targeted to requirements for the next generation of 'carrier grade' communications equipment. This series of specifications incorporates the latest trends in high speed interconnect technologies, next generation processors, and improved Reliability, Availability and Serviceability (RAS). An AdvancedTCA board (blade) is 280 mm deep and 322 mm high. The boards have a metal front panel and a metal cover on the bottom of the Printed circuit board to limit Electromagnetic interference and to limit the spread of fire. The locking injector/ejector handle (lever) actuates a microswitch to let the Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) know that an operator wants to remove a board, or that the board has just been installed, thus activating the hot-swap procedure. AdvancedTCA boards support the use of PMC or AMC expansion mezzanines. Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdvancedTCA)
