The F600 is a 4HP legacy I/O extension card for 3U Intel based CompactPCI single-board computers. It can be used in combination with the F14 and compatible CPU boards.

Modern Intel based boards increasingly support USB interfaces as an exclusive universal connection of devices such as keyboard, mouse, CD-ROM, floppy etc. Especially in industrial applications however many existing systems still use COM interfaces.

The F600 provides SA-Adapter slots for up to four additional COMs, two at the front panel and two on board. Since SA-Adapters provide the physical layers, the F600 can be configured flexibly with a combination of RS232, RS422 or RS485 interfaces, alternatively isolated or not isolated. In addition an onboard 2.5″ SATA hard-disk slot can be used on the standard version of the F600, which comes with two COM interfaces.

The F600 is directly plugged to the right side of the respective single-board computer. A robust connector makes for high mechanical stability. It is delivered with an 8HP front panel, replacing the 4HP front panel of a 3U single-board computer and thus resulting in a solid one-piece front panel.

ADLINK Ampere Altra Developer Platform (AADP) Key Features:
• Ampere® Altra® SoC (Arm Neoverse N1 based architecture)
• COM-HPC Server Type Size E Module & Carrier Board
• 32/64/80 Arm v8.2 64-bit cores up to 2.6GHz
• 3 x16 slots and 4 x4 slots PCIe Gen4
• IPMI BMC and dedicated Ethernet for remote management
• Arm SystemReady SR compliance, open source EDKI

Backed by a broad Arm® ecosystem with an Ampere® Altra® SoC at its core, using the Arm® Neoverse™ N1 platform, the Ampere Altra Developer Platform provides premium performance from a cloud-to-edge infrastructure, keeps an extremely low thermal envelope, lower TCO, and significantly lower power consumption than x86 designs. It supports the open source EDKII as bootloader with UEFI, so customers can just download a stock AArch64 (arm64) ISO such as Ubuntu and install it through booting a live ISO directly on the target. The same convenience we have become used to by using x86 / amd64 target systems.
It’s powered by the COM-HPC based server type size E module with head-turning performance and scalability necessary to drive a variety of use cases across the cloud-to-edge development communities. Examples include real-time applications that require reliable and predictable processing of the most computationally demanding workloads like medical imaging and robotic surgery, stationary and mobile robotics, autonomous driving, test and measurement to multimedia broadcasting, and more.

2.5″ HDD or SSD

The G503 is a CompactPCI Serial hard disk drive carrier board for use in a system environment with an x86 processor. It is designed to carry two 2.5″ SATA hard disk or solid state drives.

SATA RAID Controller

The HDD or SSD are controlled by an on-board SATA RAID Controller supporting RAID 0, 1 and JBOD and hot plug. The RAID level can be set using a hex switch on the board.

The G503 can be used to supplement the RAID functionality provided by the CPU board in order to implement data storage systems with high reliability and capacity.

Front Panel Status LEDs

The unit’s front panel features six LEDs signalizing board status (Power, Locate, Activity, Hot-Plug/Error and Eject).

For Mission Critical Tasks and Harsh Environments

The board supports a 2 ms HDD power hold-up time for protecting the stored data in case of a power failure, which makes it applicable also for mission-critical tasks.

In addition to industrial applications, its compliance with the EN 50155 standard makes the board also suitable for railways applications.
