Functional Description
3.1
Overview
This chapter describes the functional blocks of the PCIE-7217 card. The PCIE-7217 server
accelerator card provides the processor subsystem for the MC4100 shelf. The PCIE-7217
comes in a PCI Express-like form factor with modifications and extensions.
The card has two Intel
3D environments more efficiently and allow the host to handle other network functions.
The functional block diagram of the PCIE-7217 card is shown in the following figure:
