6U CompactPCI Board features Flip-Chip Pentium III
Concurrent Technologies has announced the release of the PP EMB/P34 Peripheral Slot Controller CPU board, a single slot 6U CompactPCI Board featuring the Flip-Chip Pentium III processor.
Hot-Swap PMC Carrier allows continuous operation
The PP PMC/002 is designed to provide a cost effective and flexible approach to implementing standard and custom I/O requirements using industry standard PMC modules in CompactPCI systems.
The board also features the Serverworks ServerSet III LE core logic, up to 1Gbyte 133MHz ECC SDRAM, an Ultra 160 SCSI interface and a 64bit 66MHz PMC site.
The PP 120/01x supports PICMG 2.16 (dual Gigabit Ethernet), PICMG 2.9 (IPMI), PICMG 2.1 and PICMG 2.0 with 33/66MHz CompactPCI signalling.
The board can operate in a system control slot or in a peripheral slot with the CompactPCI interface disabled (satellite board).
The PP 120/01x is particularly suitable for applications requiring intensive processing capability, especially in multitasking applications, low power consumption, and where the number of available backplane slots is limited.
The PP 120/01x also features an EIDE interface with installed EIDE options for an onboard 2.5in disk drive (up to UDMA100), or a CompactFlash/IBM Microdrive carrier.
For increased reliability, as with all Concurrent Technologies' designs, heatsinks are used in preference to fans for cooling the two CPUs.
Other features available are a PC real-time clock, floppy disk interface, two RS232 channels, two USB ports, parallel printer port, watchdog timer, keyboard/mouse interface, long duration timer and an Asiliant Technologies 69030 graphics interface.
To facilitate applications requiring rear I/O connections the PP 120/01x is compatible with the optional AD PP4/001 transition module (which is also used with Concurrent Technologies' PP 100/01x, a CompactPCI single Pentium III processor board).
For ease of integration, the PP 120/01x supports many of today's leading operating systems, including Linux, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT and QNX.
LAN boot firmware is also supported.
