Abstract
The Serenity-S1 is a production-optimised Advanced Telecommunications Computing Architecture (ATCA) processing blade based on the AMD Xilinx Virtex Ultrascale+ device. It incorporates many developments from the Serenity-A and Serenity-Z prototype cards and, where possible, adopts solutions being used across CERN. Due to the shortage of components during the recent semiconductor crisis, commonly used components in the prototypes had to be replaced by new ones after qualification. In this work, we discuss various improvements to simplify manufacturing, the performance of new components, some of the more difficult aspects of procurement, the performance of production-grade Samtec 25 Gb/s optical firefly parts, and concerns regarding the rack cooling infrastructure.
