The mechanical <strong>MicroTCA</strong> structure holds the AdvancedMC Modules, MCH Modules, Power Modules, JTAG<br />
Switch Modules, FRU ROMs, and the Backplane into the correct alignment. The architecture defines a rackmountable<br />
Shelf, which may be divided by Cubes, or free-standing Cubes, or Pico subassemblies to be populated<br />
with AdvancedMC Modules.<br />
Shelf<br />
There are basically two types of Shelves:<br />
• The 19 in. Shelf, as defined in IEC 60297<br />
• The Metric Shelf, as defined in IEC 60917 and ETS 300 119-4<br />
