Kontron releases processor board

A Kontron UK product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 18, 2008

Kontron has introduced the CP6016 processor board, for rugged RASM (reliability, availability, scalability, manageability) applications, in the high-end 6U CompactPCI class.

Based on the high-performance and low-power 45nm Intel Core2 Duo processor T9400, this CompactPCI board has up to 25 per cent faster core speeds (2.53 GHz), 50 per cent more L2 cache (6MB) and a 60 per cent faster FSB (1066 MHz) than the 65nm Intel Core2 Duo processor T7500-based board, with similar energy consumption.

Designed for densely packed, thermally constrained CompactPCI systems that require high performance in a typical 50W or less power envelope, the power-optimised Kontron CP6016 CompactPCI CPU board enables out-of-band communication with all hardware components through an Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).

It thereby meets the standards for the management of high-availability applications, and there is an onboard Trusted Platform Module (TPM 1.2) for data and software protection.

This makes it suitable for highly sensitive, security-relevant telecom and datacom applications.

Bandwidth intensive image processing, multi-media and test and measurement applications will also benefit from the 6MB of L2 cache and up to 16GB of registered DDR2 ECC SO-RDIMM memory.

For maximum application flexibility the CP6016 comes with a range of interfaces: 6 x SATA ports with RAID 0/1/5 functionality for enhanced data security, 7 x USB 2.0 ports, 2 x RS232 ports, VGA and High Definition Audio (HDA) interfaces as well as 5 x Gigabit Ethernet interfaces connected via PCI Express to meet the high performance requirements of communications applications.

One of the six available SATA ports can be used for an onboard 63.5mm SATA hard drive.

An XMC socket (via PCI Express x8) and PMC socket for mezzanine cards ensure plenty of room for customised expansions.

An onboard USB Flash option completes the feature set of the CP6016, which can be used in a system or peripheral slot.

The CP6016 runs with Linux, Microsoft Windows XP, XP embedded or Windows Server 2003.

Highly integrated support packages support all onboard hardware devices, and also features like Hotswap, IPMI, power and thermal management, enabling integration among scalable multi-CPU systems.
