Abstract
In order to accommodate new back-end electronics of upgraded CMS sub-detectors, a new
FEROL40 card in the microTCA standard has been developed. The main function of the
FEROL40 is to acquire event data over multiple point-to-point serial optical links, provide
buffering, perform protocol conversion, and transmit multiple TCP/IP streams (4x10Gbps) to the
Ethernet network of the aggregation layer of the CMS DAQ (data acquisition) event builder. This
contribution discusses the design of the FEROL40 and experience from operation
