PRODUCT OVERVIEW The Procelerant CE915GM COM Express embedded computing module is a standard form factor (“basic module” with type 2 pinouts) Computer on Module (COM) mezzanine board, compliant with PICMG COM Express Module Base Specification Version 1.0. ® COM Express modules enable high reuse and interchangeability of COM Express modules and carrier boards, and hence reduce time-to-market by removing the embedded computing module from the list of major components to design, which in turn lowers costs.
• GMCH chipset represents both Intel 915GM and 915GME chipsets. • ICH chipset represents the Intel ICH6-M chipset. Product codes Check the CE915GM product page on the RadiSys Web site or contact your sales representative for the latest information about product offerings.

CE915GM modules are available with Intel Pentium M and Celeron M BGA processors to support different requirements, such as performance, heat dissipation, space limitations, or voltage needs. For detailed information on these processors, visit the Intel Web site, www.intel.com. Voltage requirements The processors on CE915GM modules require separate power rails to isolate power for the internal processor, core PLLs (1.5V), and processor I/O (1.05V).
CE915GM modules provide one 200-pin SO-DIMM socket to accept DDR2-400/533 64-bit, non-ECC, non-parity memory modules. 128MB to 1GB memory is supported. The socket can accept either single or double-sided modules. Visit www.radisys.com for a list of memory tested with this product. In general, compatible memory modules must: •...
I/O Controller Hub (ICH) I/O Controller Hub (ICH) The following are functions and capabilities ICH6-M provides extensive I/O support. For further information on the ICH6-M, visit the Intel Web site. • Compliant with PCI Express Base Specification Version 1.0a • Compliant with PCI Local Bus Specification Version 2.3 to support 33 MHz PCI operations •...
Hardware Reference CE915GM modules use the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 controller to support the following VGA features: • Analog CRT DAC interface • DAC frequencies up to 400MHz • 24-bit RAMDAC • Analog monitor support up to QXGA (2048x1536) •...
Audio Functionality depends on the carrier board interfaces. For example: • On the CR100-2DVI carrier board, the GMCH multiplexes the PCI Express x16 graphics slot with two Intel SDVO ports. This allows the x16 PCI Express graphics slot to be used as a x1 PCI Express slot.
Hardware Reference The fast IDE interface supports up to two IDE devices providing an interface for IDE hard disks and ATAPI devices. Each IDE device can have independent timings. The IDE interface supports PIO IDE transfers up to 16 MBps and Ultra ATA transfers up 100 MBps. It does not consume any legacy DMA resources.
10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet controller 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet controller CE915GM modules use the Intel 82573V Gigabit Ethernet controller for high performance network application. The device is fabricated in a 1.2V CMOS process providing a low- power system solution. The Ethernet controller supports: • PCI Express x1 interface •...

Carrier Board Design Guidelines from RadiSys for further information. As long as thermal requirements are met, RadiSys heatsinks (CE-AHS, CE-PHS, CE-PHS17) or custom thermal solutions designed for the previously released models (CE760, CE738, CE373, and CE370) can be used on the CE915GMA and CE915GMB series modules.
Passive heatsinks Passive heatsinks The CE-PHSA and CE-PHS17A passive heatsinks differ only in the height of the aluminium heatsink. See dimensions in the sections below. • CE-PHS: for CE915GM modules in a minimum 1U chassis. An airflow of 300lfm [1.5m/ sec] is required by the chassis fan.
If your application requires the fastest CPU speed, a high ambient temperature, and a workload at or exceeding the TDP, phase change material is required. RadiSys offers a phase-change thermal interface material (RadiSys product code CE-TIM), which phase changes at 58°C. Table 6 shows the recommended providers of thermal interface materials.
BIOS CONFIGURATION The system BIOS is based on the Phoenix FirstBIOS™ Notebook (Pro) BIOS with RadiSys ® extensions. BIOS features include: • ACPI 2.0 wake up from S3, S4, and S5 • High-resolution, GUI-based, customizable splash screen • COM port console redirection •...
BIOS Configuration Update and recovery BIOS release packages, update and recovery tools are periodically available on the RadiSys Web site to address known issues or to add new features. The release packages include detailed instructions for updating and recoverying the BIOS.
