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 Xeon processor supports a 400MHz front side bus, 512Kbyte of high-speed L2 cache, Netburst Microarchitecture and hyperthreading technology.
The board features the Serverworks Grand Champion LE System I/O core logic (system bus up to 3.2Gbyte/s), up to 4Gbyte 200MHz DDR SDRAM (with ECC), Ultra-160 SCSI interface, a 64bit 66MHz PMC site and dual Gigabit Ethernet.
The board supports PICMG 2.16, PICMG 2.9, PICMG 2.1, 33/66MHz CompactPCI signalling and can operate as a system controller board or a satellite board.
The PP 220/01x is ideally suited to intensive multitasking applications requiring scalability and high performance, such as web-serving, search engines, storage (NAS, SAN), traffic management, voice over IP, telecommunications servers, network management, security, and load balancing.
As well as the dual Gigabit Ethernet, Ultra-160 SCSI and PMC interfaces, the PP 220/01x also features an EIDE interface with an installed EIDE connection to a CompactFlash/IBM Microdrive carrier.
There is an EIDE option for an onboard 2.5in disk drive (up to UDMA100).
Other features provided are a PC real-time clock, floppy disk interface, two RS232 channels, two USB ports, parallel printer port, watchdog timer, keyboard/mouse interface, and an Asiliant Technologies 69030 graphics interface including DVI-D support.
For increased reliability, as with all Concurrent Technologies' designs, passive heatsinks are used in preference to fans for cooling the two CPUs.
To facilitate applications requiring rear I/O connections, the PP 220/01x uses the optional AD PP4/001 transition module.
Options are available for a blank or populated front panel.
For ease of integration, the PP 220/01x supports many of today's leading operating systems, including Linux, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT and QNX.
LAN boot firmware is also supported.
