Original Press Release:
Full-Size System Host Board (SHB) Supports Dual-core Processing and Excellent Graphical Performance
One PCI Express x16, and four PCI Express x1 links are ready to drive the most demanding graphics and industrial applications
Irvine, CA, August 18, 2006 - Advantech is releasing the PCE-5120, a SHB Express(TM) (PICMG 1.3) System Host Board (SHB) supporting LGA 775 dual-core Intel® Pentium® D/Pentium® 4/Celeron® D processors up to 3.8 GHz with a 533/800 MHz front side bus. It features an Intel® 945G chipset that combines advanced video and graphics capabilities with high-bandwidth interfaces: a dual-channel DDR2-667, PCI Express x16 graphics port, four PCI Express x1 links to a SHB Express backplane plus onboard single or dual Gigabit LAN via PCIe. An Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller Hub provides eight USB 2.0 and four SATAII ports. Software support for SATA RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 ensures reliable storage and system protection. The PCE-5120 offers the high performance and scalability that are essential to support a wide range of demanding applications.
Scalable Performance
The PCE-5120 is designed as a mainstream platform and uses the Intel 945G chipset, which supports the Intel® Pentium® D processor, all Intel® Pentium® 4 processors, as well as Intel® Celeron® D processors for the LGA775 socket. The dual-core Intel® Pentium® D processor features two processing cores, each with an L2 cache memory size of 2MB that significantly boosts multitasking power to accomplish more while running multiple applications simultaneously. With up to 10.7 GB/second of bandwidth and 4 GB memory of dual DDRII 533/667 SDRAM, the PCE-5120 offers fast system response and support for robust 64-bit computing. The wide range of CPUs supported gives users a choice of either dual- or single-core performance to match precise application needs.
Excellent Graphics-class SupportBR>
The PCE-5120's scalable CPU power and PCIe x16 link to the SHB Express backplane cater to high performance PCIe graphics cards, and provide 3.5 times more bandwidth than a standard AGP 8X interface. The 945G chipset offers integrated VGA, CRT (with a maximum of 224 MB shared memory, and resolution up to 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz). In addition, the chipset features the Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 for faster graphics and 3D performance. The PCE-5120 is an ideal platform for a wide range of computing applications that demand high I/O bandwidth, reliability along with mainstream PCIe graphics support.
Flexible I/O Expansion and Reliable Storage Protection
In addition to the PCIe x16 port, the PCE-5120 features four PCIe x1 links to the backplane to enable flexible support for expansion boards. The PCE-5120 has an onboard x1 PCI Express link for single or dual Gigabit LAN using an Intel 82573V controller, which enhances the network data flow with bandwidths up to 500 MB/sec. Four on-board SATAII (300 MB/sec) interfaces feature software support for RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5. Eight USB 2.0 connections (four on SHB by Pin Header, four to backplane), ensure fast, reliable data storage and connectivity to high-speed I/O peripherals. Four RS-232 ports are available as well. When combined with a SHB backplane, like Advantech's 12-slot SHB backplane, PCE-5B12-64A1, the result is a comprehensive solution supporting a wide array of high-speed connections and expansion choices.
Optional System Management
To lower overall costs of system management, an optional BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) mezzanine card is available to provide an IPMI 2.0 interface with LAN and serial port support for out-of-band management.
As with all Advantech SHB Express solutions, the PCE-5120 is RoHS compliant and fully compatible with Advantech's PCE-5B12-64A1E backplane and a variety of industrial chassis. Additional SHB Express backplanes with unique configurations will be available soon. The PCE-5120 and the PCE-5B12-64A1E are available now for sales orders, and shipments are scheduled to start at the beginning of September.
