Adlink cPCI-6520 6U CompactPCI blade with remote management

The Adlink cPCI-6520 series is a 6U single-slot CompactPCI (cPCI) processor blade designed for applications such as robust computer makers, intelligent system integrators and the military sectors. It is available with its 22 nm 3rd generation quad- and dual-core Intel Core i7 and Mobile Intel QM77 Express Chipset with dual-channel DDR3-1333/1600 ECC memory up to 16 GB capacity.

The series delivers good computing power, I/O and memory capacity, and flexible connectivity for robust computing applications requiring server-class performance. It has enhanced management features such as PICMG 2.9 compliant IPMI, remote management based on Intel vPro technology and optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for security management. Wide temperature range support is available from -40 to 85°C (operating).

The series has good processing and graphics performance for applications requiring reliable, scalable CompactPCI products with the latest quad-core CPU, 2D/3D graphics engine with multiple displays. Three independent display functionality is provided via two dual-mode DisplayPorts and DVI/VGA graphics interfaces. The DisplayPort interface supports single-link DVI or HDMI with a passive adapter cable and analog VGA output via an active adapter cable. When coupled with an Adlink XMC-G460 graphics module installed in the XMC site or an Adlink cPCI-R6700 Rear Transition Module, the series supports up to four independent displays.

On-card connectivity includes two front-panel GbE egress ports, three USB 3.0 ports, bootable CompactFlash socket, onboard 7-pin SATA 6 Gbps connector for external storage device and SATA 6 Gbps direct connector for an onboard 2.5″ drive to provide flexible storage capabilities. The series also provides a PMC/XMC expansion site supporting 64-bit 133 MHz PCI modules or PCI Express x8 XMC modules. Rear I/O storage interface includes up to three SATA ports with RAID 0/1/5/10 support and up to eight SAS ports supporting hardware RAID by the cPCI-R6200 RTM.

The series can operate in a system slot as a master or in a peripheral slot as a standalone blade for high-density computing applications. It provides dual-channel DDR3-1333/1600 with ECC up to 16 GB with one channel soldered onboard up to 8 GB and one channel socket up to 8 GB. The flexible memory design ensures that it is a reliable platform for ruggedised applications. The series is also validated for reliability in extended temperature conditions ranging from -20 to 70°C. Select SKUs can support extreme temperatures ranging from -40 to 85°C with optional conformal coating.

Compatible operating systems for the cPCI-6520 include Windows XP, Windows 7, Fedora 16, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and VxWorks 6.9.
