Product Definition

The Intel NetStructure ZT 5504 System Master Processor Board is a single board computer
designed to work as a modular component in a high-performance CompactPCI* system. It
utilizes the Mobile Intel Pentium III Processor - M, in a BGA2 package, to provide extremely
high PCI performance and the latest in memory and I/O technology combined with low power
requirements. The ZT 5504 includes CompactPCI Packet Switching Backplane
(CompactPCI/PSB) compliance and Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) system
management features. The ZT 5504 CPU board is an ideal solution for telecommunications,
Internet, and industrial control applications with demanding performance and system reliability
requirements.
The ZT 5504 occupies a single 6U high Eurocard slot. The board can be used as a System
Master or it can operate in
Mode the ZT 5504 operates on its own without communicating over the CompactPCI bus.
Though the ZT 5504 is highly integrated, its capabilities can be extended with optional boards
available from Intel. Expansion boards are available to add IDE devices such as a CD-ROM
drive or CompactFlash and transition boards are available to extend I/O access to the rear of a
system. For more information about options and accessories, including the ZT 96080
