Abstract:
1. An Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA), system, comprising: a Rear Transition Module (RTM) or Front Transition Module (FTM); a Front Board (FRB), comprising a first power conversion/control module that supplies a power to the FRB and the RTM or FTM; a control circuit, configured to output a control signal; and a second power conversion/control module, configured to supply a power from the first power conversion/control module to the RTM or FTM according to the control signal; wherein the power supplied by the first power conversion/control module to the RTM or FTM comprises a management power and a load power, and the load power is supplied to the second power conversion/control module; and the second power conversion/control module supplies the load power to the RTM or FTM according to the control signal; wherein the control circuit comprises: a handle switch, configured to output a signal that requests for activating the RTM or FTM when the RTM or FTM is plugged in a corresponding slot on the FRB and a handle of the RTM or FTM is closed; a Module Management Controller (MMC), configured to output another signal that requests for supplying the load power to the RTM or FTM according to the signal that requests for activating the RTM or FTM, and to output to the second power conversion/control module the a control signal that permits supplying the load power after getting permission; and an Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC), configured to output to the MMC the control signal that permits supplying the load power, after receiving from the MMC the signal that requests for supplying the load power of the RTM or FTM.
