MIC-3393 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
Using Intel 45nm 64-bit Xeon technology with up to four cores at 2.66GHz combined
with the powerful San Clemente chipset, the MIC-3393 blade boosts computing and
I/O performance deploying the latest virtualization, multi-threading and I/OAT accel-
eration techniques. Enhanced Xeon packaging, front side bus parity, onboard, sol-
dered DRAM with ECC support and RASUM features integrated in the 5100MCH
combined with PICMG2.9, IPMI-based management make the MIC-3393 a highly
available and reliable high performance computing engine. The comprehensive I/O
subsystem includes an onboard USB flash disk, a 2.5" SATA HDD or CompactFlash
slot, three advanced Gigabit Ethernet controllers, two UARTs, USB ports and a TPM.
The addition of PCIe links to the RTM further enhances versatility compared to previ-
ous generation blades resulting in best-in-class connectivity.
The RIO-3311 RTM module supports one PS/2 connector with both keyboard and
mouse ports, three USB ports, two RS-232 ports, 2 SATA ports, a PCIe based server
graphics controller with VGA port, a USB port for USB NAND flash module, and alter-
nate cabling for the three Gigabit Ethernet ports of the MIC-3393. In case the SATA
disk drives and SATA RAID support of the ICH9R do not meet performance and reli-
ability requirements, the RIO-3311 SAS version supports a 4-port SAS controller with
RAID and failover support.
The MIC-3393 is outfitted with single slot (4HP) or dual slot (8HP) front panels to
match CPU performance, CPU power dissipation, and system cooling capabilities.
The 8HP version of the blade can be extended with a MIC-3312 mezzanine module
which can carry two XMCs/PMCs or two 2.5" SATA HDDs to support enhanced I/O
modularity and additional mass storage options.
1.2 Specifications
1.2.1 CompactPCI Bus Interface
The MIC-3393 is compliant with PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0. It supports a 64-bit / 66 MHz or
33 MHz PCI bus for up to 8 CompactPCI slots at 3.3 V or 5 V VIO. The MIC-3393 is
hot-swap compliant (PICMG 2.1) and conforms to the CompactPCI Packet Switching
Backplane specification (PICMG 2.16) as well as the CompactPCI System Manage-
ment Specification (PICMG 2.9).
The board can be configured as a system master or a drone board. In drone mode it
only draws power from the CompactPCI backplane and is not active on the Compact-
PCI bus. However, PICMG 2.16 is still fully supported in this mode.
