CP308 Kontron Intel Core 2 Duo 3U CompactPCI CPU Board

The Kontron CP308 Intel Core 2 Duo 3U CompactPCI CPU Board is equipped with the next generation of high-performance Core 2 Duo mobile processors manufactured using the 45nm process and the mobile chipset GS45, the CP308 offers the greatest performance ever achieved in the 3U CompactPCI form factor. With support for up to 8GB latest DDR3 memory running at a memory bus speed of up to 1066 MHz the CP308 can provide a data throughput of up to 17 GB/s.

The huge range of state-of-the-art interfaces are manufactured either at the front, as onboard header or via rear IO allows the CP308 to be easily adapted to the individual application needs. Further on the CP308 is equipped with two high speed expansion connectors, which can be used to directly attach one of the two extension boards CP308-HDD or CP308- MEDIA. For fast and easy data storage the CP308 can be optionally equipped with an USB NAND Flash module.

The chipset integrated Trusted Platform Module (iTPM) provides hardware based encryption mechanisms to create, seal or store keys, passwords and other important data and therefore guarantees data and system security on a high level.

To take over system management tasks the CP308 provides a 32bit system management controller(SMC). With this the reading of temperature and voltage values as well as controlling and supervising of fans is possible. Moreover the status of additional in the system installed CompactPCI cards can be controlled and their status can be read via the IPMB bus. To have a solid base the implemented Firmware is based on the well-established IPMI technology. On the system side, the CP308 supports a PCI 32-bit, 33MHz CompactPCI interface enabling the peripheral mode feature. When installed in a system master slot, the CompactPCI interface will work in transparent mode, whereas the CompactPCI interface will be isolated when installed in a peripheral slot.
