Programmable CPU power limits
–
By simply programming a lower power
limit in the BIOS setup, the CPU can be used in applications where less
power is available or heat removal is an issue. This is accomplished by the
CPU automatically underclocking its frequency to maintain a power level at
the set limit.
1.6.2 Intel QM87 Chipset (Lynx Point) PCH
The Intel 8 Series QM87 (Lynx Point) PCH provides extensive I/O support, as listed
below:
•
PCIe x4 (2)
–
There are two PCIe ports of x4 width. The first is connected to
the FPGA-based VME Bridge. The other is connected to the Intel 82580EB
Quad Gigabit Ethernet controller.
•
SATA II (2)
–
There are two SATA ports that operate up to 3Gb/sec
connected to the VME P2 connector.
•
SATA III (2)
–
There are two SATA ports that operate up to 6Gb/sec
connected to the Expansion Site connector for the optional XBRD-9060
•
Bootable on-board SSD Flash
–
32GB of soldered-down on-board SSD Flash
is standard on all units. The device can be write protected with an option in
the BIOS.
•
USB 2
.
0 (6)
–
There are two ports connected to the VME P2 connector and
two ports connected to the front panel's 26-pin connector that function at
USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 speeds. There are an additional two ports available on
the Expansion Site connector for the optional XBRD-9060.
•
VGA
–
An analog VGA port is available, including DDC clock and data, at
either the VME P2 connector or the front panel's 26-pin connector. Only
one connection may be used at a time and should auto switch when a
monitor is plugged in to either port. Override switches are available on
SW2.
•
LPC
–
The Low Pin-count Bus is connected to both the NCT6106D Super-I/O
for serial ports and debug port 80 connections, in addition to the
AT97SC3204 TPM device.
•
SPI
–
The Serial Peripheral Interface is used for the onboard boot flash.
•
HDA Audio
–
The HDA audio port is connected to an ALC892 high definition
audio codec. Analog stereo line-in and line-out ports are available on the
VME P2 connector.
•
SMBUS
–
This I2C-compatible System Management Bus has connections to
the memory DIMMs, the XMC connectors, and also to an onboard EEPROM
for module identification.
1.6.3 Intel 82580EB Quad Ethernet Controller
The Intel 82580EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller contains both the MAC and the
physical layer. It provides 4 ports that auto-sense 10-Base-T, 100Base-T, and
1000Base-TX connections. Two of these are available on the front panel's RJ Point 5
connector. Two are available on the optional VME P0 connector, for use on a VITA
31.1 Switch-Fabric compliant backplane, or via the optional XVME-9640 RTM module.
