The CorEdge Networks PCI Express to Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) Converter card, CEN-PAC™, enables AMC reuse in enterprise/desktop servers and workstations in addition to ATCA/MicroTCA environments.
The CEN-PAC is an intelligent subsystem that enables an AMC to be used in a PCI-Express based system. It bridges the PCI-Express IPMI, power and electrical signaling. The AMC mates to an intelligent carrier and is housed in a small chassis with integrated cooling and EMI/thermal shielding. The intelligent carrier within the CEN-PAC makes the AMC appear as a PCI-Express device to the system and is plug-compatible with standard PCI-Express slots in ATX-style motherboards. The CEN-PAC can support PCI-Express x1, x4 and x8 and requires two adjacent slots in the motherboard
