1.1 Introduction
Figure 1-1: PCIE-Q170
The PCIE-Q170 is a full-size PICMG 1.3 CPU card. It accepts a Socket LGA1151 6th/7th
generation Intel® Core™ i7/i5/i3, Pentium® or Celeron® processor and supports four
288-pin 2133 MHz dual-channel DDR4 DIMM modules up to 64 GB.
The PCIE-Q170 provides two GbE interfaces through the Intel® I219LM (with Intel® AMT
11.0 support) and the Intel® I210 PCIe controllers. The integrated Intel® Q170 chipset
supports six SATA 6Gb/s drives with RAID 0/1/5/10 function. In addition, the PCIE-Q170
includes VGA and iDP interfaces for dual independent display.
Two USB 3.1 Gen 1 on the rear panel, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 by internal box header, six
USB 2.0 by pin headers, one USB 2.0 by internal Type A connector, two RS-232, two
RS-232/422/485 and one PCIe Mini interface provide flexible expansion options. High
Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the
PCIE-Q170.
