1. Introduction

Warning: This is an EA (early available) engineering manual. The contents may not accurately reflect the actual or final version of this product.
The COM-HPC modular approach of custom carrier combined with off-the-shelf system cores relives developers and manufacturers the need to design
their own system core, thereby not only accelerating their proof of concept significantly but also empowers them to upgrade to later generation
processors without redesign. The COM-HPC concept reduces engineering complexity, lowers the threshold for total project quantity, and last but not
least brings your product to the market in no time. 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. Together with the COM-HPC Server Type module of your choice and off-the-shelf add-on cards, you can quickly emulate the
functionality of your desired end product for software development and hardware verification.
To build a functional prototype of your target system you will need:
• COM-HPC Server Type module
• COM-HPC Server Base carrier
• PCI Express-based storage or SATA storage (SATA storage solutions are dependent on module specifications)
The COM-HPC Server Base is compatible with Size E and Size D COM-HPC Server Type modules and may accommodate:
• 1x Remote management IPMI BMC and pin header for IPMB
• 3x PCI Express x16 slot, 2x PCI Express x4 slots, and 2x M.2 M-key connector
• OCP connectors for dedicated OCP 10GbE Mezzanines
• 1x VGA, 1x general purpose LAN, 1x remote management LAN, 4x USB 3.0/2.0, 1x DB-9 COM port (at rear I/O)
• 1x USB connector (2-in-1), 2x USB 10 pin header (2-in-1) for front panel
