MIC-3393 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
Using Intel 45nm 64-bit Xeon technology with up to four cores at 2.66GHz combined
with the powerful San Clemente chipset, the MIC-3393 blade boosts computing and
I/O performance deploying the latest virtualization, multi-threading and I/OAT accel-
eration techniques. Enhanced Xeon packaging, front side bus parity, onboard, sol-
dered DRAM with ECC support and RASUM features integrated in the 5100MCH
combined with PICMG2.9, IPMI-based management make the MIC-3393 a highly
available and reliable high performance computing engine. The comprehensive I/O
subsystem includes an onboard USB flash disk, a 2.5" SATA HDD or CompactFlash
slot, three advanced Gigabit Ethernet controllers, two UARTs, USB ports and a TPM.
The addition of PCIe links to the RTM further enhances versatility compared to previ-
ous generation blades resulting in best-in-class connectivity.
The RIO-3311 RTM module supports one PS/2 connector with both keyboard and
mouse ports, three USB ports, two RS-232 ports, 2 SATA ports, a PCIe based server
graphics controller with VGA port, a USB port for USB NAND flash module, and alter-
nate cabling for the three Gigabit Ethernet ports of the MIC-3393. In case the SATA
disk drives and SATA RAID support of the ICH9R do not meet performance and reli-
ability requirements, the RIO-3311 SAS version supports a 4-port SAS controller with
RAID and failover support.
The MIC-3393 is outfitted with single slot (4HP) or dual slot (8HP) front panels to
match CPU performance, CPU power dissipation, and system cooling capabilities.
The 8HP version of the blade can be extended with a MIC-3312 mezzanine module
which can carry two XMCs/PMCs or two 2.5" SATA HDDs to support enhanced I/O
modularity and additional mass storage options.
1.2 Specifications
1.2.1 CompactPCI Bus Interface
The MIC-3393 is compliant with PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0. It supports a 64-bit / 66 MHz or
33 MHz PCI bus for up to 8 CompactPCI slots at 3.3 V or 5 V VIO. The MIC-3393 is
hot-swap compliant (PICMG 2.1) and conforms to the CompactPCI Packet Switching
Backplane specification (PICMG 2.16) as well as the CompactPCI System Manage-
ment Specification (PICMG 2.9).
The board can be configured as a system master or a drone board. In drone mode it
only draws power from the CompactPCI backplane and is not active on the Compact-
PCI bus. However, PICMG 2.16 is still fully supported in this mode.

1.2.7 Storage Interface
The MIC-3393 supports five SATA channels. The SATA1 interface can be routed to
an onboard 2.5" SATA hard disk drive or be transferred to access CompactFlash via
SATA-to-IDE daughter board. On-board HDD occupied same space of CF, so each of
them is optional. The SATA2 and STA3 interfaces are routed to the RTM via the J5
connector. The SATA4 and SATA5 are connected to XTM for extra SATA HDDs
request.
1.2.8 Serial Interface
Two serial ports from SuperIO and one UART from BMC are routed to FPGA to fulfill
several flexible usages. User can access the MIC-3393 or BMC from front or rear
side by setting one DIP switch (SW4). Two serial interfaces are routed to the RTM via
the J3 connector. The other one is designed to serve as a console interface to the
BMC.
1.2.9 USB Port
Seven USB 2.0 compliant ports are provided. Two of them are routed to front panel
connectors; one is routed to an on-board USB flash disk on the MIC-3393. The other
four are routed to the RTM through the J3 connectors, two to the panels of the RTM,
two to the on-board connectors. However, RIO-3311-A1E only supports one on-
board USB port due to space limitation.
1.2.10 LEDs
Four LEDs are provided on the front panel as follows:
!One bi-color LED (blue/yellow) indicates hot swap and HDD activity. The blue
color indicates that the board may be safely removed from the system, and the
yellow color indicates HDD activity.
!One LED provides power status. When the LED is green, it means power is pro-
vided to the board.
!One LED indicates "Master" or "Drone" mode. The green color stands for "Mas-
ter” mode. When the LED is off, the board is in "Drone" mode.
!One LED indicates BMC heart beat. When it flashes (yellow), it means the BMC
is active.

1.2.15 Compact Mechanical Design
The MIC-3393 has a specially designed heat sink for the processor to enable fanless
operation. However, forced air cooling in the chassis is still needed for operational
stability and reliability.
1.2.16 CompactPCI Bridge
The MIC-3393 uses a PLX PCI 6540 universal bridge as a gateway to an intelligent
subsystem. When configured as a system controller, the bridge acts as a standard
transparent PCI-X-to-PCI bridge. As a peripheral controller it allows the local
MIC-3393 processor to configure and control the onboard local subsystem indepen-
dently from the CompactPCI bus host processor. The MIC-3393 local PCI subsystem
is presented to the CompactPCI bus host as a single CompactPCI device. When the
MIC-3393 is in drone mode, the PLX PCI 6540 is electrically isolated from the Com-
pactPCI bus. The MIC-3393 receives power from the backplane, supports rear I/O
and supports PICMG 2.16. The PLX PCI 6540 PCI bridge offers following features:
!PCI Interface
–Full compliance with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.3
–Supports 3.3V or 5V tolerance I/O
!Transparent and non-transparent bridge function
!64-bit, 33MHz/66MHz asynchronous operation
!Support for 8 Bus Masters
!Usable in CompactPCI system slot or peripheral slot
!10-KB Buffer Architecture for PCI-X-to-PCI-X and PCI-X-to-PCI bridging and
speed conversion
–1-KB downstream Posted Write buffer
–1-KB upstream Poster Writer buffer
–4-KB downstream Read Data buffer
–4-KB upstream Read Data buffer
Please consult the PLX PCI 6540 data book for details.

!Serial ports COM1 and COM2 are connected to the rear I/O module or front
panel via two multiplexer in the FPGA.
!The PS2 (keyboard/mouse) is routed to the rear I/O module.
1.2.20 RTC and Battery
The RTC module keeps the date and time. On the MIC-3393 model the RTC circuitry
is connected to battery sources (CR2032M1S8-LF, 3V, 210mAH).
1.2.21 IPMI
The MIC-3393 uses the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) to monitor
the health of an entire system. A Renesas H8S/2167 microcontroller provides BMC
functionality to interface between system management software and platform hard-
ware. The MIC-3393 implements fully-compliant IPMI 2.0 functionality and conforms
to the PICMG 2.9 R1.0 specification. The IPMI firmware is based on proven technol-
ogy from Avocent. Full IPMI details are covered in Chapter 3.
