XChange1104

The XChange1104 is a 6U CompactPCI dual-PrPMC carrier card with a PICMG 2.16 Gigabit Ethernet interface. With PCI-X support on both CompactPCI and local bus interfaces, the XChange1104 is ideal for applications requiring high bandwidth and the flexibility that PMC modules offer.

Based on the AMCC PowerPC 440GX Embedded Processor, the XChange1104 is armed with the processing power needed for demanding applications. With integrated PCI-X, DDR SDRAM, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, the 440GX offers a highly optimized, yet cost-effective solution for packet processing and general computing.

Hot Swap support allows the XChange1104 to be installed into a live system without disrupting CompactPCI bus activity. In addition, system management bus support allows the card to be powered down and reset remotely through the IPMI interface.

XChange1002

The XChange1002 is a versatile 6U CompactPCI dual PMC carrier card with a PICMG 2.16 Gigabit Ethernet backplane interface. The XChange1002 supports 100 MHz PCI-X on both the CompactPCI and local bus interfaces (the XChange1002 uses a transparent bridge, which allows it to operate as a peripheral carrier card in a CompactPCI environment).

PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap support allows the XChange1002 to be installed into a live system without disrupting CompactPCI bus activity. In addition, the system management bus support allows the card to be powered down and reset remotely through the PICMG 2.9 IPMI interface. The IPMI interface also allows for the monitoring of voltage and temperature levels on the cards attached to the two PrPMC slots.

XChange1004

The XChange1004 is a 6U CompactPCI dual PMC carrier card with a PICMG 2.16 Gigabit Ethernet interface. The XChange1004 detects if it is a system controller and configures the cPCI bridge to operate in transparent mode. (A PrPMC must be installed on the XChange1004 if it is used in the system slot, since there are no intelligent devices on the XChange1004.) As a peripheral, the cPCI bridge operates in non-transparent mode, which offers address isolation, in addition to electrical isolation.

PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap support allows the XChange1004 to be installed into a live system without disrupting CompactPCI bus activity. In addition, the system management bus support allows the card to be powered down and reset remotely through the PICMG 2.9 IPMI interface. The IPMI interface also allows for the monitoring of voltage and temperature levels on the cards attached to the two PrPMC slots.
