DDI (3)
–
These Digital Display Interfaces can be configured to be
DisplayPort 1.2, DVI, or HDMI. On the VPX6600, two display
interfaces are routed to the P2 connector with the third available
on a front I/O Mini-DisplayPort connector (Air-cooled only).
•
Programmable CPU power limits
–
By simply programming a lower
power limit in the BIOS setup, the CPU can be used in applications
where less power is available or heat removal is an issue. This is
accomplished by the CPU automatically underclocking its frequency
to maintain a power level at the set limit.
1.6.2 Intel CM236 PCH
The Intel C230 Series CM236 PCH provides extensive I/O support, as listed
below:
•
PCIe Gen3 x4 (4)
–
There are four PCIe Gen3 ports of x4 width. The
first is connected to the Intel I350 Quad Gigabit Ethernet
Controller. The second is connected to the PEX8714 PCIe switch.
The third is connected to an expansion plane fat pipe on the VPX
backplane allowing for direct board-to-board communication with
an adjacent slot. The fourth is connected to the M.2 expansion slot.
•
SATA Gen3 (7)
–
There are seven SATA III ports on the VPX6600. All
the ports are configurable as SATA ports or PCIe lanes. Two are
connected to the P2 backplane connector. One is connected to the
M.2 expansion site. The remaining 4 are connected to the
expansion plane fat pipe on the VPX backplane.
•
USB 3.0 (4)
–
There are four USB 3.0 ports on the VPX6600. Two
ports are connected to the P2 backplane connector. The other two
are available on front I/O USB connectors (Air-cooled only)
•
USB 2
.
0 (2)
–
There are two additional ports that function at USB
2.0 or USB 1.1 speeds that are connected to the P2 backplane
connector.
•
GPIO (6)
–
There are six 3.3V general purpose inputs/outputs
available on the P2 backplane connector. These have software-
configurable direction control.
•
LPC
–
The Low Pin Count bus is connected to the NCT6106 Super
I/O for serial ports and debug port 80 connections, in addition to
the AT97SC3204 TPM device.
•
Line-Level Audio In/Out
–
Stereo audio input and output from
onboard HDA audio codec are available on the P2 backplane
connector.
•
SMBUS
–
This I2C-compatible System Management Bus has
connections to the memory DIMMs, the VPX backplane, the
Ethernet controller, and an on-board EEPROM that can be used for
module identification.
