Introduction
1.1
Overview
The cPCI-6525 is a 6U CompactPCI® processor blade in sin-
gle-slot (4HP) width form factor featuring a single 22nm FC-BGA
3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processor with quad-cores mated
with the Mobile Intel® QM77 Express Chipset. The cPCI-6525
supports dual channel DDR3-1333/1600 ECC SDRAM with one
channel in a SO-CDIMM socket and one channel of soldered
onboard memory (total memory capacity up to 16GB). Graphics is
integrated in the Intel processor with one DVI-I port on the front
panel switchable to rear IO. The cPCI-6525 has two GbE control-
lers (Intel® 82574IT) providing two GbE ports on the front panel
(switchable to rear) and two Intel® 82574IT GbE controllers pro-
viding two ports to rear IO. For expansion flexibility, the cPCI-6525
routes one PCIe x16 Gen2 (convertible to two PCIe x8 Gen2) and
one PCIe x4 to rear IO.
Additional IO functionality of the cPCI-6525 includes three USB
3.0 ports and one RS-232/422/485 serial port via RJ-45 connector
on the front panel. Onboard storage capabilities include a SATA 6
Gb/s direct connector for a 2.5" drive and CFast slot via adapter
board. The cPCI-6525 is also equipped with an Atmel
AT97SC3204 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to meet security
requirements.
Rear I/O functionality includes two GbE ports via two Intel®
82574IT GbE controllers for PICMG 2.16 support, two GbE ports
(switchable from front panel), six USB 2.0, PS/2 keyboard/mouse,
three serial ports, two DVI interfaces, and HD Audio. Available
rear I/O for storage includes three SATA ports (dependent on
selected RTM) and eight SAS ports supporting hardware RAID via
two mini-SAS x4 connectors when mated with the cPCI-R66S0
RTM. By selecting cPCI-R66G0 or cPCI-R66N0 RTM, the
cPCI-6525 can utilize an MXM PCIe x16 graphics card to perform
high speed calculations.
