TR E5x/msd is a 3U VPX™ single board computer based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E3-1500 v5 family, providing enhanced processing performance within the same Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) envelope compared to the successful TR B1x/msd board. A range of standard I/O interfaces are provided with an XMC expansion slot to add application specific I/O and an optional front panel module with DisplayPort, Ethernet, USB and serial connections. TR E5x/msd supports a wide range of backplane profiles based on a PCI Express® (PCIe®) data plane fabric and optional PCIe expansion plane for flexible multi-board configurations. It is compliant with the recently ratified VITA 46.11 system management specification and is particularly suited for command, control, communicate and compute applications.
