Chapter 1. General Information
1.1 Introduction
The PL-80500 is a 1U rack-mounted hardware platform designed for high
performance network service applications. Supporting the next generation
Intel® Atom™ Processor C2000 product family (formerly codenamed
Rangeley) with 8/4/2 Cores; the new platform comes fully packed with Intel®
AES New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI), Intel® Quick Assist Technology and
Intel® Streaming SIMD Extension (Intel®SSE) for hardware accelerated data
encryption and decryption.
The platform supports four DDR3 1333/1600MHz unbuffered ECC or non-ECC
DIMM sockets up to 32GB of memory and offers powerful storage interface
supporting 2.5”/3.5" SATA 3.0 6Gbps hard drives and CompactFlash™, thus
granting the best network performance and maximum utilization. In order to
enhance network security performance, the PL-80500 offers optional Intel
Quick Assist technology that provides hardware-level cryptographic
acceleration, hence enabling the reallocation of CPU computing power for
higher-layer packet processing.
This platform offers 8 GbE to 16 GbE Ethernet ports via PCIe on the front
panel. To prevent network problems during unexpected shut downs, PL-80500
supports two segments of LAN bypass function through WDT and GPIO pin
definitions. For local system management, maintenance and diagnostics; the
front panel is equipped with dual USB 2.0 ports, one RJ-45 console port and
LED indicators that monitor power and storage device activities. Additionally,
the PL-80500 supports one PCIe x8 slot for add-on Ethernet module and one
PCIe x4 golden finger for standard PCIe card via a riser card.
