User Guide • SC4-CONCERTO • CompactPCI®Serial CPU Board
Overview
The SC4-CONCERTO is a rich featured high
performance 4HP/3U CompactPCI®Serial CPU
board, equipped with an Intel®Xeon®E3
familiy mobile workstation processor (Skylake
Halo platform) for demanding applications. For
scalability, the SC4-CONCERTO is also available
with a 6th Generation Intel®Core™ Skylake
processor.
The SC4-CONCERTO front panel is provided
with two Gigabit Ethernet jacks, two USB 3.0
receptacles, and two DisplayPort connectors. In
addition, up to two USB Type-C front panel
receptacles are available as an option, one of
them usable alternatively as (third) DisplayPort.
On-board mass-storage solutions are based on
low profile mezzanine expansion cards, which
accommodate up to two M.2 style SSD
modules. One of the M.2 sockets is suitable for
a fast NVMe (PCIe Gen3 x 4) module, and the
other for a low cost SATA type M.2.
The SC4-CONCERTO is equipped with up to
32GB DDR4 RAM with ECC support. Up to
16GB memory-down are provided for rugged
applications, and another 16GB are available via
the DDR4 ECC SO-DIMM socket.
The powerful Xeon®E3-1500 v5 series
processor is accompanied by the CM238 mobile
PCH, for a maximum of high speed I/O
resources (e.g. PCI Express®, SATA, USB). Thus,
22 PCIe lanes are available for backplane use,
and up to 8 lanes for local mezzanine
expansion.
The SC4-CONCERTO is provided with an on-
board SATA hardware RAID controller, enabling
high-capacity mass storage solutions across the
CompactPCI®Serial backplane.
As an option, up to eight Gigabit Ethernet Ports
are available via the backplane connector P6
(S80-P6 low profile mezzanine expansion card).
