The different functional blocks are:

CISC:
The Centralized ISAM System Controller (CISC) Implements all On-Board
Controller (OBC) functions which accommodate a centralized Control and
Management approach of the complete ISAM shelf and provides the necessary
processing capabilities for Ethernet packets/frames forwarded to the main OBC from
the GE switching module.

MCSD:
The Master Clock Synchronization and Distribution (MSCD) provides the following
functionality:

System Network Timing Reference (NTR)

Synchronization Input references from BITS/SSU, Synchronous Ethernet input link
data clocks, IEEE-1588 ordinary or boundary clock.

Synchronization Output reference clocks towards:

- The shelf-based LT boards (backplane connections): 8 kHz.

- The internal NTR signal from the active NT board to the standby NT board in
a redundant NT board pair (backplane connection): 8 kHz.
- The external NTR daisy-chain interface (located at the NT board front): 8 kHz and
19MHz.
- The external BITS/SSU out interface (located at the NT board front):
independently configurable to 2048 kHz, E1 or DS1 signal.
Performance for SSU / BITS input/output: compliance with ITU-T G.813 Option 1:
ETSI.
Performance for Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE) input/output: compliance with ITU-T
G.8262 Option 1: ETSI

NUTS:
The Network/User Transport and Switching (NUTS) provides the interface and
switching circuitry for the front and back related uplink/network interfaces to/from
the LT slots.
PSIM:
The Power Supply Interface Module (PSIM) converts the rack power supply into all
necessary voltages as required by the used components.
FIM:
The Frontplate Interface Module (FIM) located at the front stiffener holds the
physical interfaces (four SFP+, one 10/100/1000Base-T interface) together with a
visual port status indication. The FIM also hosts a Management Interface (CRAFT)
together with the ACO functionality.
BIM:
The Backplane Interface Module (BIM) constitutes all the necessary control,
management, and data plane related interface inside the complete ISAM system.
