High performance 10GbE ATCA The heart of the Centellis 4410 platform core is the AXP1410 AdvancedTCA (ATCA ) shelf and
shelf includes redundant shelf manager and alarm modules, redundant power entry modules (PEMs) and
two fan tray modules. The AXP1410 shelf features a 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) capable
