The average time to design a carrier board is less than half the time of a full custom board. The COM-HPC Server Base, based on PICMG COM-HPC R1.0, is an Extended ATX size carrier board, supplied by ATX and AT power source through 24+8 power connector.
COM-HPC Server Base User’s Guide PICMG COM-HPC Rev 1.0 2. Special Features 2.1. Three PCI Express x16 Maximum 2x FHFL PCI Express cards at PCIE16-31 slot and PCIE32-47 slot, and 1x FHHL PCI Express card at PCIE48-63 slot PCIE16-31 and PCIE32-47 slots can accommodate up to 2-slot-width PCI Express cards, in the condition of not using PCIE4-7 slot Figure 1 –...
The management architecture is divided into BMC (Board Management Controller, also called IPMI BMC or Carrier BMC) and MMC (Module Management Controller). As defined, BMC is located on the COM-HPC carrier, while MMC is located on the COM-HPC module. Carrier BMC communicates with MMC through IPMB interface, an I C interface with IPMI protocol support.
PICMG COM-HPC Rev 1.0 2.3. High Speed Ethernet Expansion The high-speed Ethernet MACs are located on the COM-HPC module used. The PHY is (if used) located on the COM-HPC carrier as defined by PICMG COM-HPC specifications. PHY may vary due to the silicon platform or Ethernet controller used, thus a connector-style design instead of a PHY chip on carrier is adopted for further expansion purposes.
6.2. Connector Location and Pinout Compatibility Connector positions and pinouts comply with pinout and signal descriptions within PICMG COM-HPC Carrier Design Guide R2. This document includes: descriptions of pinouts, signals, and mechanical characteristics of the COM-HPC specification. The COM-HPC Server Base carrier is compatible with COM-HPC modules in Size E and D form factor, Server Type pinout, COM-HPC Module Base Specification R1.0.
COM-HPC Server Base follows the PICMG COM-HPC Carrier Design Guide where possible, and its design and schematic have been fully verified. It is recommend to utilize them as references for your carrier board design. COM-HPC Server Base schematics and mechanical files, as well as the CDG, can be downloaded from ADLINK COM’s webpage.
