Introduction
96M4371o
,
the
PICMG
1.3
SHB
(Single
Host
Board)
combined
with
either
the Intel® Core i7-620M/i5-520M/P4500 processor. The attractive Core i processor
does not only posses amazing parallel computing power but also generates only 35W
TDP (Thermal Design Power). That makes the system more powerful and reliable
with smaller and quieter cooling fan.
The SHB adopted Intel® QM57 chipset. The QM57 embedded Graphics Media
Accelerator HD is the latest generation Intel integrated graphics controller that can
supports 3D multimedia capabilities including Microsoft DirectX 10, Shader Model
4.0, MPEG-2 and OpenGL 2.1. More than that, user could utilize even higher-end, the
latest PCI Express x16 interface graphics card via backplane. Based on the
low-power/high-performance Nehalem micro-architecture, the processor is designed
for a two-chip platform, as opposed to the traditional three chip platforms (processor,
GMCH, and ICH).
96M4371o
built with dual Intel® Gigabit Ethernet. Two DDR3 DIMM
sockets support system memory up to 8GB. Six SATA 300 ports (dual ports via
backplane) support RAID 0, 1, 5, 10.
To meet bandwidth of storage and expansion cards requirement, the
96M4371o
was designed flexible with five PCI Express lanes via backplane.
Those PCI Express lanes could be one PCI Express x16(or two PCI Express x8 links)
from CPU and four PCI Express x1 links(or one PCI Express x4 link) from PCH. Four
PCI Express x1 links configuration can support more PCI Express x1 devices via
backplane and one PCI Express x4 link configuration can support RAID card or
special add-on cards such as image processing board. In addition, the flexible
configuration can be leveraged with bridge on backplane to support more PCI or
PCI-X slots that benefits industries with legacy support.
Advanced Management Technology (AMT) 6.0 is feature that
96M4371o
equipped. This technology provides remote access capability via Intel® Gigabit
Ethernet controller. The new technology
is a hardware-based solution that uses
out-of-band communication for system management access to client systems. Beside
that, the hardware and software information can be gathering by 3
rd
party software
then storage in SPI interface EEPROM. Therefore, asset management could be done
at the same time. 96M4371o also supports iTPM (Intel Trusted Platform Mod-
ule) function for applications.
