SC4-CONCERTO
CompactPCI® Serial CPU Card
Intel® XEON® E3 v5 Mobile Workstation Processor
or 6th Generation Intel® Core™ Processor
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 a low profile mezzanine expansion card,
which accommodates 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 SSD.
|
|
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 (low profile mezzanine expansion card).

SC4-CONCERTO • 6th Generation Intel® XEON® E3 v5 Mobile Workstation Processor
|
The SC4-CONCERTO is equipped with a set of high-speed local expansion interface connectors,
which can be optionally used to attach either a low profile mezzanine module
(fits into the 4HP front panel envelope) or a side board for an 8HP or even 12HP assembly in total.
The connectors HSE1 and HSE2 are high speed connectors, as required for
PCI Express® Gen3 and SATA 6G. The socket EXP is used as a legacy interface
(e.g. HD Audio, LPC) and not required for many mezzanine modules.
All connectors allow board-to-board heights of 9.5mm (C4* series, S20, S40),
10.8mm (S60, S80), and 18.7mm (SC* side cards 8HP assembly).
|
|
HSE1 can be configured for either 4 x PCIe or 4 x SATA, or 2 x PCIe and 2 x SATA,
thanks to the flexible HSIO channels of the CM238 PCH. When HSE1 has been setup for SATA,
the SC4-CONCERTO can be combined e.g. with low cost SSD mass storage mezzanine modules
such as the C47-MSATA (dual mSATA carrier) or C48-M2 (dual M.2 SATA sockets).
For high performance NVMe based SSD mezzanine modules (S20/40/60) HSE1 must be configured as PCIe x 4.
HSE2 is assigned to 4 x PCIe, and in addition the 3rd DisplayPort video output.
While S20 and S60 get along with HSE1 only, the S40 and S80 mezzanine modules depend on both HSE1 and HSE2, for additional I/O.

While mechanically compliant to CompactPCI® Classic, CompactPCI® Serial
(PICMG® CPCIS.0) defines a completely new card slot, based on PCI Express®,
SATA, Gigabit Ethernet and USB serial data lines. Up to 6 high-speed
backplane connectors P1 - P6 are provided on a system slot controller
such as the SC4-CONCERTO, which can be considered as a root hub with
respect to most signal lines. A passive backplane is used for distribution
of a defined subset of I/O channels from the system slot to each of up
to eight peripheral slots in a CompactPCI® Serial system.
|
|
Most CompactPCI® Serial peripheral slot cards require only the backplane
connector P1, which comprises PCIe, SATA and USB signals, resulting in a
concise and inexpensive peripheral board design. More powerful peripheral
cards profit from so called Fat Pipe slots (PCIe x 8).
The SC4-CONCERTO is a native CompactPCI® Serial CPU card, suitable for
usage in a pure CPCI Serial environment. Due to its generous backplane
capabilities (22 x PCI Express® Gen3, 8 x USB, 6 x SATA RAID, 8 x GbE),
very powerful industrial systems can be built.
