The A6EXP8021 is a Core Duo/ Core2 Duo based CompactPCI Express board that supports PICMG Packet Switching Backplane Specification EXP.0 R1.0.
Chipset
The A6EXP8021 is equipped with the Intel® E7520™ server chip set for a memory control hub and Intel® 6300ESB™ for an I/O control hub. The Intel® E7520™ server chipset features the PCI Express routing function embedded in the ECC-capable memory controller. The DMA controller allows high-speed data transfer between main memory and PCI Express. The A6EXP8021 adopts dual channel memory that allows for PC2-3200 DIMM.
Interfaces
CompactPCI Express can serve as x4 lanes (4 links) or x8 lanes(2 links) that are compatible with various backplanes as usage. The A6EXP8021 is also equipped with standard interfaces including Gigabit Ethernet, Serial ATA, and USB 2.0, assuring usability.
