More power to critical cPCI processing
Single-slot 6U CompactPCI processor board uses the latest high performance mobile dual core processor from the Intel embedded roadmap.
This combination of high performance data processing and a range of I/O interfaces ensures that the PP 421/23x has one of the highest specifications available today and is therefore an ideal choice for intensive data processing applications within the telecommunications, defence, security, telemetry, scientific and aerospace markets.
The Intel E7520 server class chipset and Intel 6300ESB ICH are used to complement the two Xeon processors to achieve a high performance, yet low power, dual processor dual-core architecture.
The E7520 chipset can access up to 8Gbyte DDR2-400 ECC dual channel SDRAM at up to 6.4Gbyte/s - the dual channel memory consists of up to 4Gbyte soldered and up to 4Gbyte SODIMM.
For I/O flexibility there is a PMC site supporting both front and rear I/O, two SATA150 interfaces, two graphics interfaces, four Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, PICMG 2.16 (Ethernet switched fabric), PICMG 2.9 (IPMI) and PICMG 2.1 (hot swap).
The PP 421/23x can operate as a system controller board or as a satellite board (blade) in a CompactPCI system, along with support for various operating systems.
A wide range of onboard I/O is available to the user: the board supports four 10/100/1000Mbit/s Ethernet interfaces (two front and two rear) and the front panel also supports a USB 2.0, RS232, analogue graphics, keyboard and mouse interfaces.
As well as the PMC rear I/O, the rear panel supports three more USB 2.0, two more RS232, two SATA150, one EIDE, digital graphics, keyboard and mouse interfaces.
Other features included are a watchdog timer, LAN boot firmware and options for an onboard 2.5in EIDE hard disk drive and/or CompactFlash EIDE storage.
For applications requiring rear I/O connections a rear transition module is also available.
For ease of integration, the PP 421/23x family of boards support many of today's leading operating systems, including Linux, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000, Windows XP and QNX.
