Introduction
SOM-5992, designed around the Intel® Xeon® Processor D-1500 family, brings the
performance and advanced intelligence of Intel® Xeon® processors into a dense,
low-power system-on-a-chip. With enhanced reliability, availability, and serviceability
features, platform storage extensions, and built-in hardware virtualization, the Intel®
Xeon® processor D-1500 product family offers new possibilities for a variety of appli-
cations. SOM-5992 is suitable for midrange routers, network appliances, security
appliances, wireless base stations, embedded midrange IoT devices, entry network-
ing, midrange storage area networks (SANs), network attached storage (NAS) appli-
ances, warm cloud storage, and more.
In a breakthrough move, SOM-5992 supports a maximum of 64 GB DDR4 memory
which should help fulfill the ever-increasing server application demands in the area of
COM Express. The Intel® Xeon® processor D-1500 delivers 16 processor cores and
64 GB memory, combined with computer on module flexibility, this is an optimal solu-
tion for users who want extreme computing performance and non-stop service.
Moreover, the SOM-5992 incorporates two 10GBase-KR interfaces for integrating
with 10GbE customer carrier boards. PCIe x16 and 8 PCIe x1 Supports Non-Trans-
parent Bridge (NTB), which allows redundancy via PCIe. This helps reduce data loss,
allowing a secondary system to take over PCIe storage device management if a CPU
fails, and provides high availability for applications requiring continuous service.
SOM-5992 has four screw holes near the CPU, positioned in compliance with the
Intel® standard thermal design guide. The thermal module is attached to the CPU in
a balanced torque design, and it is the first COM Express to have an added back-
plane to increase rigidity like single board, so the thermal module makes tight contact
with the CPU with no board bending. This result is highly efficient heat dissipation
with outstanding computing performance. Advantech also offers SOM-5992-thermal-
solution pre assembly service that can assist in system-level assembly.
