Promentum MPCBL0040

Dual-core Xeon Compute Processing Module

Description

The RadiSys® MPCBL0040 single board computer is a high compute board introducing powerful multi-core architecture compliant with the Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (AdvancedTCA*) specification. In production since 2006 and field tested by several top tier Service Providers, the MPCBL0040 features two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors LV 2.0 GHz, providing a total of four processor cores per board. This design achieves significant performance improvements in multithreaded applications such as IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS), IPTV, and Wireless Control Plane applications.

The MPCBL0040 is also designed to interoperate with AdvancedTCA products from RadiSys and with third-party building blocks meeting the PICMG* 3.0 specification.

Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® LV 2.0 GHz Processor

The processor subsystem on the MPCBL0040 offers:

  • Field tested high performance board that is very well suited for thermally constrained environments. Delivers superior performance/watt ratings and performance/$ value.
  • Superior subsystem scalability and greater density; more subscribers/transactions per board to allow more network elements in an AdvancedTCA* chassis, which improves system scalability
  • Backplane supports high I/O requirements and access to high-speed storage systems
  • Enables carrier-grade system reliability and manageability such as controlling board power and monitoring onboard sensors using dual Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) connections

AdvancedMC*

The MPCBL0040 has one AdvancedMC* which supports the next-generation mezzanine card standard optimized for AdvancedTCA. AdvancedMC uses PCI Express* and Gigabit Ethernet for maximum throughput. In addition, the increased board area and power envelope enables the MPCBL0040 to support high-density I/O and processor mezzanines.

AdvancedMC provides full hot-swap support and allows management via an onboard IPMB bus AdvancedMC cards can also reduce time-to-market because AdvancedMC provides baseboard modularity via an easy-to-use expansion slot that requires no infrastructure changes.

Feature Summary

  • Processor: Two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors LV 2.0 GHz featuring multi-core technology
  • Chipset: Intel® E7520 provides direct connection between the MCH and PCI Express* components and AdvancedMC* modules
  • Interface: Dual Star Gigabit Ethernet base and fabric interfaces (compliant with PICMG 3.0 and 3.1, option 2)
  • Mezzanine Site: One AdvancedMC
  • Management: Intelligent Platform Management Controller (IPMC)
  • High Availability Features: Redundant BIOS images IPMC firmware images, and dual 128 MB flash drives
  • Option for enterprise-class hard drive, which allows Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives with MTBF over 1 million hours
  • Multiple storage options (local hard drive, front SAS ports, redundant 128 MB flash drives, and Rear Transition Module hard drive)
