Dual 2,0 GHz Xeon CompactPCI processor board

24 September 2003 Computer/Embedded Technology Electronics Technology

The latest high-performance Dual Intel Xeon CompactPCI Single Board Computer from Concurrent Technologies is being offered by Systematic Designs, a value added-reseller and distributor specialising in realtime solutions.

The PP 220/01x uses two 2,0 GHz low voltage Intel Xeon processors, where each processor works within a 35 W thermal envelope. The Xeon processor supports a 400 MHz front side bus, 512 KB of high-speed L2 cache, Netburst Microarchitecture and Hyper-Threading Technology. The board features the Serverworks Grand Champion LE System I/O core logic (system bus up to 3,2 GBps), up to 4 GB 200 MHz DDR SDRAM (with ECC), Ultra-160 SCSI interface, a 64-bit 66 MHz PMC site and dual gigabit Ethernet.

Supporting PICMG 2.16/2.9/2.1, 33/66 MHz CompactPCI signalling, the board 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 on-board 2,5" disk drive. Other features provided are a PC realtime clock, floppy disk interface, two RS232 channels, two USB ports, parallel printer port, watchdog timer, keyboard/mouse interface, and a graphics interface including DVI-D support.

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. For ease of integration, the PP 220/01x supports Linux, Windows XP/2000/NT, QNX and LAN boot firmware.
