2.3 COM-HPC® Documentation
The COM-HPC® specification defines the COM-HPC® module form factor, pinout and signals. For more
COM-HPC® specification information, visit the
(PICMG®) website.
2.4 COM-HPC® Server Functionality
All Kontron COM-HPC® Server modules are popolated two 400-pin connectors, each has 4 rows called
A to D on connector J1 and row E to H on connector J2. The COM-HPC® Server Computer-on-Module
features the following maximum amount of interfaces according to the PICMG module pinout type.

2.5 COM-HPC® Benefits
COM-HPC® defines a Computer-On-Module (COM), with all the components necessary for a bootable
host computer, packaged as a highly integrated computer. All Kontron COM-HPC® modules are very
compact and feature a standardized form factor and a standardized connector layout that carry a
specified set of signals. Each COM module is based on the COM-HPC® specification. This
standardization allows designers to create a single-system carrier board that can accept present and
future COM-HPC® modules. The carrier board designer can optimize exactly how each of these
functions implements physically. Designers can place connectors precisely where needed for the
application, on a carrier board optimally designed to fit a system's packaging. A single carrier board
design can use a range of COM-HPC® modules with different sizes and pinouts. This flexibility
differentiates products at various price and performance points and provides a built-in upgrade path
when designing future-proof systems. The modularity of a COM-HPC® solution also ensures against
obsolescence when computer technology evolves. A properly designed COM-HPC® carrier board can
work with several successive generations of COM-HPC® modules. A COM-HPC® carrier board design
