The AMC608 is a multi I/O adapter in the Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor. The AMC608 combines a 2.5″ SAS/SATA HDD, Graphic and USB in a single-width, mid-height AMC form factor.
The AMC608 is AMC.1 and AMC.3 compliant. The PCIe interface is Gen2 (each lane runs at 5Gb/s).
The SATA hard disk drive can support data transfer rates of over 100 Mbyte/s and provides up to 320 GB of storage capacity.
The AMC608 is also available with a Solid State Flash drive or SAS Drive. The SAS drive have transfer rate of 3Gbps.

The AMC607 is a multi I/O adapter in the Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) form factor. The AMC607 combines a 2.5″ SAS/SATA HDD, Graphic and Audio in a single-width, mid-height AMC form factor.
The AMC607 is AMC.1 and AMC.3 compliant.
The SATA hard disk drive can support data transfer rates of over 100 Mbyte/s and provides up to 320 GB of storage capacity. Since SATA drivers are limited to a single host and can not respond to multiple initiators, the Active-Active 2:1 Multiplexer device allows multiple hosts to access a single disk drive. This allows two hosts to access a single SATA drive.
The AMC607 is also available with a Solid State Flash drive or SAS Drive.

Introduction
The Advantech MIC-5401 is a single-width/mid-size Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) designed to support a 2.5″ SAS or SATA hard disk drive to work as an enterprise storage module on an ATCA platform or in a MicroTCA shelf. The 2.5″ hard disk drive is connected to the AMC port 2 (SAS and SATA) and port 3 (SAS only) according to the AMC.3 specifications. Dual port SAS drives may be used on the MIC-5401 to increase the interface bandwidth of failover support between dual hosts in fault tolerant environments.

Like all other standard AMC modules, an IPMI-based module management controller (MMC) is also implemented on the MIC-5401 to serve as a communication interface to the Carrier Management Controller on an ATCA platform, or to the MicroTCA Carrier Management Controller on the MicroTCA Carrier Hub in a MicroTCA shelf. As a local IPMI controller on the AMC, it manages all hot-swap activities, E-keying, and hardware heath monitoring such as voltages (12V, 5V, and management power 3.3V) and on-board temperatures (including hard disk drive’s ambient temperature).

The MIC-5401’s mechanical design is optimized for a maximum of shock and vibration durability combined with a user- and service friendly mounting process for the disk drive.
