Introduction
Advantech’s MIC-5301 single-slot AdvancedTCA® processor blade combines computing performance with I/O flexibility in a power efficient quad core, dual AMC design. Featuring
two high performance Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® LV processors, the MIC-5301 facilitates the consolidation of multiple single core designs and frees up valuable system slots for
increased processing power or I/O connectivity.
The MIC-5301’s overall design flexibility positions it for use as a common processing blade for multiple applications. As architecture re-use means gains in economies of scale,
the MIC-5301 is ideally suited for a wide range of application processing needs. Two single full-size AMC sites support the use of a variety of AMC modules such as coprocessors,
TCP/IP offload engines, physical disks, LAN or WAN adapters. Packet throughput is increased by enhanced fabric connectivity with four Gigabit Ethernet ports to the fabric interface
in addition to the two Gigabit Ethernet ports to the base interface.
An Intel E7520 Memory Controller Hub MCH and Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub provide high-end server class support for the two dual-core processors. The E7520 addresses
up to 16 GB of dual channel DDR2 ECC Registered SDRAM in 4 DIMM sockets. Further connectivity is supported via an optional Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) module with SAS ports
connected to a Rear Transition Module mounted SAS drive. IPMI 1.5 support is assured by a PigeonPoint System® (PPS) Solution on a Renesas H8S/2167.
Advantech offers a range of innovative ATCA customization services specifically targeted at Telecommunications Equipment Manufacturers (TEMs). Advantech’s Design To Order
Services (DTOS) team partners with TEMs to evaluate project requirements and develop TEM-specific solutions in order to improve overall operating costs. The MIC-5301 is an
example where proven core engineering IP can be re-used as a base for a TEM specific design.
