1.1 Overview

Figure 1-1: SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 CPU Card

The SPCIE-5100DX PICMG 1.3 form factor CPU card is an Intel® Xeon®

CPU

processor

platform with an integrated Intel® 5100 and ICH9R chipset. The SPCIE-5100DX is

coupled with the specially designed backplanes to provide access to up to 20 PCI Express

(PCIe) lanes.

Four 8.0 GB DDR2 SDRAM Registered ECC DIMMs support a maximum of 32.0 GB

DDR2 system memory. Six SATA II drives with 3.0 Gbps data transmission rates provide

flexible storage options. Twelve USB 2.0 interfaces and four PCI expansion lanes

(interfaced to the backplane) provide further expansion options. Dual PCIe gigabit

Ethernet (GbE) controllers facilitate external Internet connectivity. An XGI Volari™ PCI

graphics controller supports analog CRT display output and connectivity to standard CRT

monitors through an external VGA connector.

1.1.1 SPCIE-5100DX Expansion Options

There are 20 PCIe x1 lanes on the SPCIE-5100DX. All of these, 20 PCIe x1 lanes are

interfaced to the IEI SPXE backplane through the PICMG 1.3 form factor edge connectors

(one PCIe x16 and one PCIe x4) on the bottom of the CPU card.
