Overview
The SC1-ALLEGRO is a rich featured high
performance 4HP/3U CompactPCI
®
Serial CPU
board, equipped with an Intel® Core™ i7
Mobile 3
rd Gene ECC (dual- or quad-
core) processor based on 22nm technology. The
SC1-ALLEGRO front panel is provided with two
Gigabit Ethernet jacks, two USB 3.0 receptacles,
and two Mini-DisplayPort connectors for
attachment of high resolution digital displays,
configured e.g. as extended desktop.
The SC1-ALLEGRO is equipped with up to 16GB
RAM with ECC support. 8GB memory-down are
provided for rugged applications, and another
8GB are available via the DDR3 ECC SO-DIMM
socket. As an option, a low profile mezzanine
module with dual mSATA SSDs may serve as a
high-speed RAID mass storage solution. The
SC1-ALLEGRO backplane connectors comply
with the PICMG®
CompactPCI ®
Serial system
slot specification.
While mechanically compliant to
CompactPCI ®
Classic,
CompactPCI ®
Serial (PICMG® CPCIS.0)
defines a completely new card slot, based on
PCI Express®, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet and USB
serial data lines. Up to 6 high-speed backplane
connectors P1 - P6 are provided on a system
slot controller such as the SC1-ALLEGRO, which
can be considered as a root hub with respect to
most signal lines. A passive backplane is used
for distribution of a defined subset of I/O
channels from the system slot to each of up to
eight peripheral slots in a
CompactPCI ®
Serial
system.
Most
CompactPCI ®
Serial peripheral slot cards
require only the backplane connector P1, which
comprises PCIe, SATA and USB signals, resulting
in a concise and inexpensive peripheral board
design. More powerful peripheral cards profit
from so called Fat Pipe slots (PCIe x 8).
The SC1-ALLEGRO is a native
CompactPCI ®
Serial CPU card, suitable for usage in a pure
CPCI Serial environment. Due to its generous
backplane capabilities (20 x PCI Express® lanes,
6 x USB, 7 x SATA/RAID, 2 x GbE), very powerful
industrial systems can be built.
The SC1-ALLEGRO is equipped with a set of
local expansion interface connectors, which can
be optionally used to attach a mezzanine side
board. A variety of expansion cards is available,
e.g. providing legacy I/O and additional PCI
Express® based I/O controllers such as SATA,
USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet, or a third video
output. Most mezzanine side cards can
accommodate in addition a 2.5-inch drive. Typically, the SC1-ALLEGRO and the related side
card would come as a readily assembled 8HP
unit. As an alternate, low profile Flash based
mezzanine storage modules are available that
fit on the SC1-ALLEGRO while maintaining the
4HP profile. The C42-SATA module e.g. is
equipped with a very fast 1.8-inch SATA Solid
State Drive (SSD), which is suitable for
installation of any popular operating system.
