PC1-GROOVE

High Performance Low Power CPU Card

Suitable for Classic CompactPCI® and PICMG 2.30 CompactPCI® PlusIO Systems



The PC1-GROOVE is a powerful 4HP/3U CompactPCI® CPU board, equipped with an Intel® Core™ i7 processor (dual core, quad threads) scalable from 1.06GHz up to 2.66GHz clock (Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz), and integrated graphics. The PC1-GROOVE front panel is provided with two Gigabit Ethernet jacks, two USB receptacles, and either the Vesa DisplayPort connector for attachment of a high resolution display (DVI adapter available), or the classic VGA connector as an alternate option.


Conforming to the PICMG® 2.30 CompactPCI® PlusIO specification, the PC1-GROOVE in addition provides standardised high speed rear I/O across the backplane connector J2, such as PCI Express®, SATA, and Gigabit Ethernet. In a hybrid backplane system, the PC1-GROOVE acts as a bridge to PICMG® CPCI-S.0 CompactPCI® Serial cards. In a classic CompactPCI® system, any 2.30 compliant rear I/O transition module such as the PR1-RIO may be used as an option.

The PC1-GROOVE is equipped wit a set of local expansion interface connectors, which can be optionally used to attach a mezzanine side board. A variety of expansion cards is available, e.g. providing legacy I/O and additional PCI Express based I/O circuitry such as SATA and Gigabit Ethernet, or a secondary video output. Most mezzanine cards can accommodate in addition a 2.5-inch drive.


Typically, the PC1-GROOVE and the related side card would come as a readily assembled 8HP unit. As an alternate, Flash based mezzanine storage modules are available that fit on the PC1-GROOVE while maintaining the 4HP profile. The C42-SATA module e.g. is equipped with a very fast 1.8-inch SATA Solid State Drive (SSD), which is suitable for installation of any popular operating system.

PC1-GROOVE with C41-CFAST Mezzanine Module

PC1-GROOVE with C41-CFAST Mezzanine Module


CompactPCI® PlusIO (PICMG 2.30) is a new standard for rear I/O across J2, specified by the PICMG®. High speed signal lines (PCI Express®, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet and USB) are passed from the PC1-GROOVE through the special UHM connector to the backplane, for usage on CompactPCI® Serial card slots or a rear I/O transition module.


CompactPCI® Serial (PICMG CPCI-S.0) defines a completely new card slot, based on PCI Express®, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet and USB serial data lines. On a hybrid backplane, both card styles, CompactPCI® and CompactPCI® Serial, can coexist, with the PC1-GROOVE in the middle as system slot controller for both backplane segments.
