Project Description

CompactPCI® Serial CPU Card
Intel® Mobile Workstation Processor Xeon® E3 v6 Family
7th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor (Kaby Lake-H)

The SC5-FESTIVAL is a rich featured high performance 4HP/3U CompactPCI® Serial CPU board, equipped with an Intel® Xeon® E3 familiy mobile workstation processor (Kaby Lake Halo platform) for demanding applications. For scalability, the SC5-FESTIVAL is also available with a 7th Generation Intel® Core™ Kaby Lake processor.

The SC5-FESTIVAL front panel is provided with two Gigabit Ethernet jacks, two USB 3.0 receptacles, and two DisplayPort connectors. In addition, up to two USB Type-C front panel receptacles are available as an option, one of them usable alternatively as (third) DisplayPort.

On-board mass-storage solutions are based on a low profile mezzanine expansion card, which accommodates two M.2 style SSD modules. One of the M.2 sockets is suitable for a fast NVMe (PCIe Gen3 x 4) module, and the other for a low cost SATA type M.2 SSD.

The SC5-FESTIVAL is equipped with up to 32GB DDR4 RAM with ECC support. Up to 16GB memory-down are provided for rugged applications, and another 16GB are available via the DDR4 ECC SO-DIMM socket.

The powerful Xeon® E3-1500 v6 series processor is accompanied by the CM238 mobile PCH, for a maximum of high speed I/O resources (e.g. PCI Express®, SATA, USB). Thus, 22 PCIe lanes are available for backplane use, and up to 8 lanes for local mezzanine expansion.

The SC5-FESTIVAL is provided with an on-board SATA hardware RAID controller, enabling high-capacity mass storage solutions across the CompactPCI® Serial backplane.

As an option, up to eight Gigabit Ethernet Ports are available via the backplane connector P6 (low profile mezzanine expansion card).
