Core i7-based CompactPCI blade

20 March 2013 Computer/Embedded Technology

ADLINK Technology’s cPCI-6520 is a 6U single-slot CompactPCI (cPCI) processor blade designed for mission-critical applications such as robust computer makers, intelligent system integrators and military sectors.

With its 22 nm 3rd-generation quad- and dual-core Intel Core i7 and Mobile Intel QM77 Express chipset with dual channel DDR3-1333/1600 ECC memory up to 16 GB capacity, the card delivers powerful computing, extended I/O and memory capacity, and flexible connectivity for robust computing applications requiring server class performance.

The cPCI-6520 features management functions such as PICMG 2.9 compliant IPMI, remote management based on Intel vPro technology and optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for security management. Wide operating temperature range support is available from -40°C to 85°C.

Functionality for three independent displays is provided via two dual-mode DisplayPorts and DVI/VGA graphics interfaces. The DisplayPort interface supports single-link DVI or HDMI with a passive adaptor cable and analog VGA output via an active adaptor cable. When coupled with an ADLINK XMC-G460 graphics module installed in the XMC site or an ADLINK cPCI-R6700 Rear Transition Module, the cPCI-6520 supports up to four independent displays.

On-card connectivity includes two front panel GbE egress ports, three USB 3.0 ports, bootable CompactFlash socket, onboard 7-pin SATA 6Gbps connector for external storage and SATA 6Gbps direct connector for an onboard 2,5” drive.

The cPCI-6520 also provides a PMC/XMC expansion site supporting 64-bit 133 MHz PCI modules or PCI Express x8 XMC modules. Rear I/O storage interface includes up to three SATA ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 support and up to eight SAS ports supporting hardware RAID by the cPCI-R6200 RTM.

The card can operate in a system slot as a master or in a peripheral slot as a standalone blade for high-density computing applications. Compatible operating systems include Windows XP, Windows 7, Fedora 16, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and VxWorks 6.9.
