1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The ADLINK cPCI-3970 Series is a 3U CompactPCI® PlusIO
compatible processor blade with ECC memory up to 16GB. The
ADLINK cPCI-3970 features an Intel® Core™ i7 processor with
Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset, supports Satellite mode
operation as a standalone blade in peripheral slots and IPMI for
system health monitoring.
Front panel I/O includes 2x GbE, 2x USB, VGA, and additional
2x USB, COM, KB/MS, and Line-in/out for the 8HP cPCI-3970D
model, or 2x DisplayPort, COM and USB for the cPCI-3970G ver-
sion. One optional PCI 32-bit/66 MHz PMC site or PCI-Express x1
XMC site is available on the 2nd or 3rd layer. The optional Rear
Transition Module (RTM) provides 3x SATA, 2x GbE, 2x USB,
2x COM and VGA.
The cPCI-3970 is a high performance solution for factory automa-
tion and other industrial applications that require superior data
transfer capabilities and advanced computing power.
