Chapter 1 Hardware Configuration
1.1 Introduction
The MIC-3369C is the first CompactPCI server blade, supporting Intel
Pentium M processor, with u-FCBGA and u-FCPGA socket design. In
compliance with PICMG 2.16 Packet Switching Backplane specification,
it is an ideal platform for the emerging switch-fabric applications blade
server, mission critical and computation-intensive applications. The MIC-
3369C has been optimized for the Intel Pentium M processor and the Intel
E7501 Chipset. It represents the next step in high performance cPCI plat-
forms, delivering compelling performance at 3.2 GB/s bandwidth across
the 400/533 MHz front side bus with a high performance, micro-architec-
ture, and includes 32KB Level 1 Instruction and data Caches, 1/2MB
Level 2 Advanced Transfer Cache, and up to 3.2 GB/s of bandwidth
across dual high performance DDR Memory channels with max. 2 GB
ECC DDR200 memory on-board.
High Performance Intel Pentium M Processor
The MIC-3369C supports a 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium M 745 processor and a
1.6 GHz Pentium M processor with the u-FCPGA package. The Intel
Pentium M 745 processor has 2 MB L2 cache and Pentium M 1.6GHz
processor has 1MB L2 cache providing high performance. With the sup-
port of a 400/533 MHz front side bus, the MIC-3369C can fulfill cus-
tomer's expectations of high-performance computing capability.
Compact Mechanical Design
The MIC-3369C offers many functions on a single board with only one
slot. Advantech provides a CPU heatsink specially designed for the Intel
Pentium M processor, enabling the MIC-3369C to operate without a cool-
ing fan on the heat sink. It only needs external cooling air from the chas-
sis fans for ventilation. This enables the MIC-3369C to use the Intel
Pentium M CPU within a mere 1-slot wide space.
Single P2P Bridge
The MIC-3369C with single PCI-to-PCI Bridge is compatible with enclo-
sures with up to 8 slots, and can drive up to seven bus master PCI slots in
master mode. Furthermore, it supports master and drone modes. The
