CPC5565 Functional Blocks

The IPMC monitors system sensors for system management events, such as overtemperature,
out-of-range voltages, fan failures, etc., and logs any occurrences in its non-volatile System
Event Log (SEL). You can view the SEL in the BIOS setup utility by selecting the IPMI 1.5
Configuration menu under the Advanced tab on the main menu. The IPMC also provides the
interface to the sensors and SEL so system management software can poll and retrieve the
present status of the system.
Note: The BIOS cannot currently display the IPMC SEL as there is no SEL implemented in the
IPMC firmware at this time. Currently the BIOS maintains its own event log, but does not have
access to any of the management sensors, so will only report BIOS errors. An IPMC SEL will
be implemented in the future and at that time the BIOS will switch from a local event log to
using the IMPC SEL. Currently, there is no IMPI submenu in the Advanced menu.
See Chapter 4, “System Monitoring and Alarms,” on page 57 for more information on IPMC
functionality, supported commands, CPC5565 sensors, and the firmware upgrade process.
The CPC5565 is compliant with standard Intelligent Platform Management Interface v1.5
Specification functionality. See “Intelligent Platform Management Controller” on page 116 , for
information about this specification.
Memory
The CPC5565 includes two 200-pin, Small Outline Registered Dual In-line Memory Module
(SO-RDIMM) socket that can be populated with up to 8 GB DDR2-400 registered SDRAM. The
BIOS automatically determines the SDRAM's size and speed.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) provides a common interface to many peripherals such as
keyboard, serial ports, and mouse ports. The CPC5565 supports booting from USB devices,
such as CD-ROM, DVD, or thumb drive.
The CPC5565 supports two standard USB 2.0 ports, available at the front panel. See Figure
2-1, “CPC5565 Front Panel,” on page 19 . A third USB port is directed to the backplane via
RPIO connector J5. See “J5 (Rear-Panel User I/O Connector)” on page 90 .
The CPC5565's USB resides in the Intel 3100 chipset. The topic “Chipset” on page 115
provides a link to the data sheet for this device. Connector locations and pinouts are
documented in the topic
“USB Connectors (J10, J15)” on page 93 .
AMD/ATI Radeon E2400 Video Processor
The CPC5565 incorporates the high performance AMD/ATI Radeon E2400 video processor,
which delivers exceptional 2D, 3D, and multimedia graphics performance for embedded
systems. It has 128 MB of internal GDDR3 Synchronous Graphics RAM (SGRAM) memory
(two pieces of 16Mx32) integrated in the application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) package.
The AMD/ATI Radeon E2400 video processor supports DirectX 10 with Shader Model 4.0,
integrated Transition Minimized Differential Signaling (TMDS), and a Universal Video Decoder
(UVD), which supports HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc™ decode (H.264 or VC-1 formats).
