1.1.3 Shelf Manager
The shelf manager SAM1410 is designed to be used in AdvancedTCA systems. It is the central
management unit of the shelf. Its purpose is to monitor, control and assure proper operation
of the shelf and all other components of the AdvancedTCA shelf.
It reports anomalies and errors and takes corrective actions if required (for example, increase
