Power Requirements
The ATCA-9305 circuit board uses —48 volts from the backplane to derive 3.3 volts for the 
IPMC and 12 volts for payload power. 
Table 2-2: Typical Power Requirements
The exact power requirements for the ATCA-9305 circuit board depend upon the specific 
configuration of the board, including the CPU frequency and amount of memory installed 
on the board. Please contact Emerson Technical Support at 1-800-327-1251 if you have 
specific questions regarding the board’s power requirements.
Environmental Considerations
As with any printed circuit board, be sure that air flow to the board is adequate. Chassis con-
straints and other factors greatly affect the air flow rate. The environmental requirements 
are as follows:
