–
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.
3.5 System Memory
The VPX6600 CPU module has two 260
‐pin, right‐angle SODIMM sockets
to accept
DDR4 ECC SDRAM modules. At least one SDRAM module is required to make the
system operational.
Note:
ECC (x72) SODIMM modules are required. Non-ECC SODIMM modules (x64)
are not supported.
Support for the following features is provided by the system memory interface:
•
DDR4 SDRAM with transfer rates of 2133 MT/s
•
Up to 16GB capacity DIMMs using 4Gb or 8Gb DDR4 SDRAM densities
•
72-bit wide channels (64-bits plus 8 bits of ECC)
3.6 Video
Up to 4 displays are supported, but only three can be active at the same time.
Each display type supports the following maximum resolution:
DP:
4096x2304 @ 60Hz
HDMI:
4096x2160 @ 24Hz
DVI:
1920x1200 @ 60Hz
3.6.1 Digital Display Interfaces
The Intel
®
Gen6 (Skylake) CPU used on the VPX6600 CPU module integrates
three digital display ports (B, C, and D) that support DisplayPort, HDMI, or DVI
interfaces.
DisplayPort can be configured to use 1, 2, or 4 lanes depending on the
bandwidth requirements and the link data rate of the RBR (1.62 GT/s), HBR
(2.7 GT/s), and HBR2 (5.4 GT/s).
All three ports support DP++, which transmits DVI/HDMI signals as well as
DisplayPort. A simple passive adapter can be used to connect DVI/HDMI
display devices to any of these ports. The BIOS will detect and automatically
configure any of these attached devices.
When configured as HDMI, the DDIx4 port can support 2.97 GT/s link rate.
The processor supports High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) for
high-definition content playback over digital interfaces.
The processor also integrates a dedicated Mini HD audio controller to drive
audio on integrated digital display interfaces, such as HDMI and DisplayPort.
The HD audio controller on the PCH would continue to support down CODECs,
and so on. The processor Mini HD audio controller supports two High-
Definition Audio streams simultaneously on any of the three digital ports.
