About the mA-3011

The mA-3011 AXIe Embedded Host Module provides a compact and integrated solution

for AXIe-based deployments by eliminating the need for an external host processor for

module control. The mA-3011 is a single form-factor module that supports AXIe-1 Revision

3.0 Specifications for Wide PCI Express® Fabric Extensions and Gen3 PCIe data rates.

The mA-3011 provides a single high-performance Intel i7 quad-core processor: the

mA-3012 provides a dual high-performance Intel i7 processor..

Figure 1

Standard mA-3011 configuration provides 8 GB of DDR3-1600 RAM and a 128 GB

SATA-III solid-state drive; configuration options support 16 GB of DDR3-1600 RAM and a

256 GB SATA-III solid-state drive.

The module's Intel i7 4700EQ chipset provides powerful quad-core processing. The

mA-3011 utilizes Hyper-Threading Technology to support simultaneous execution of up to

eight threads. The mA-3011 contains a CPU Carrier Module and a high-performance,

multi-core processor. The CPU Carrier Module contains an embedded micro controller

which supports Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC) stack functions.

Front Panel I/O connections include four USB 3.0 SuperSpeed connections a DisplayPort

Connector, Audio I/O Connectors and a Gb Ethernet Connector. The USB and DisplayPort

connections are routed directly from the COM Express module to the Front Panel. The

Front Panel Gb Ethernet connection is provided by an L2 packet switch, which also bridges

the Backplane Ethernet to the COM Express module. The Audio I/O connectors are routed

to a high definition audio codec via analog scaling and filter functions provided on the CPU

Carrier Module.

mA-3011 external interfaces include a RJ45 GB Ethernet connector, four USB 3.0 SS

connectors, high-definition audio microphone and speaker jacks, and DisplayPort

connection driven by the embedded Intel HD Graphics 4600 accelerator capable of

resolutions up to 3840 x 2160. The mA-3011 also provides the capability to install a

standard form-factor 3/4 length x16 PCIe card to expand system processing and I/O

functionality.
