1.3 Structural features of KIC551RC
The technical specifications for both KIC551 and KIC551RC are listed in subparagraph 1.2;
Features of the KIC551RC module are as follows:
▪ conduction heat removal cassette is used instead of the finned heatsink;
▪ KIC551RC correposnds to the IMES.469555.002 TU specifications.
For more details on KIC551RC, please see subparagraphs 1.6 and 1.8.
1.4 Structure and functioning of KIC551/KIC551RC
KIC551/KIC551RC is installed into a system slot of the backplane and performs switching of PCIe
packets between peripheral slots and and an external device over the PCIe optical interface. The
module is additionally equipped with a 10 Gbit Ethernet controller included in the list of PCIe
devices and makes it possible to transfer data via the channel displayed on the front panel.
Separately from the PCIe packet switching subsystem, a 1 Gbit Ethernet switch is installed on the
KIC551 / KIC551RC module, which makes it possible to control individual system modules, as well
as data exchange within the single-star topology.
KIC551/KIC551RC can also be used to increase
the bandwidth of peripheral slots over the PCIe lines if the processor module does not support x4
and x8 buses on peripheral slots.
