Motorola Computer Group recently introduced the XIP68, a �universal� CompactPCI-based single-board computer, designed to operate as a host-slot controller or peripheral slot board and within bus-free systems such as those based on the CompactPCI Packet Switched Backplane (CPSB or PICMG 2.16) specification. The Motorola XIP68 offers a balance of performance, functionality, and flexibility so OEMs can use it as a common platform across their telecom applications. It features up to two 1 GHz Intel Pentium III processors, dual 10/100/1000BaseTX Ethernet -- via PCIMG 2.16 (CPSB) or rear transition module, up to 2GB of ECC protected SDRAM, multiple internal PCI busses to ensure I/O bandwidth, and up to two PMC sites for application specific modules.

Today�s high-speed processors create higher frequencies, making EMC containment more challenging. The EMC solution of Elma�s Type 4F IPC enclosure is designed to provide up to 30db of attenuation at frequencies of up to 30 GHz. Designed to fit in 19� racks, the Type 4F is 4U high and only 445 mm deep (versions with a built-in depth of 545 mm and a 2U chassis for riser or low-profile cards will follow). The housing is designed for ATX and AT motherboards up to 14 slots (eight-, 10, and 12-slot versions are optional). It visibly accommodates three 5.25� CD-ROM and a 3.5� FDD cassette mechanism, as well as up to three more 3.5� HDD internally. The hot-dip galvanized finishing of the housing prevents corrosion.

The IPC enclosure is cooled via positive pressure with ducting to ensure maximum airflow to the cards, where it is needed. The heat build-up can optionally be monitored with a temperature sensor. Also, the front fan filter can be replaced fast and easily. The power supply units have 250W, 300W, 350W or 2 x 300W redundant options.

Onboard are an integrated high-performance graphics controller with concurrent, independent CRT and LVDS support, dual 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T gigabit Ethernet auto-negotiating controllers, PCI Ultra DMA/100 IDE interface, CRT or Flat Panel video controller as well as Universal Serial Bus (USB 1.1) ports, serial/parallel ports, and floppy interface. An Ultra320 SCSI Hub Link 2.0 (1GB/s) daughter card is optional.

The LBC-9116 supports onboard PCI and PCI-X (used by GbE) buses as well as an off-board 32-bit/33MHz or 64-bit/66MHz PCI buss. A PCI to ISA bridge supports ISA bus mastering with up to 20-slot drive capability. At only 1.48 inches wide, it is accommodated in 1U/2U platforms and 4U multi-segmented passive backplane chassis.

Extreme Engineering�s XCalibur1000 is a 6U CompactPCI board supporting Broadcom�s �Super E-Commerce Processor.� Known as the �Encryption Blade,� XCalibur1000 is powered by a single or dual IBM 750FX PowerPC and supports the PICMG 2.16 standard. The Broadcom Super E-Commerce Processor (BCM5821) offers encryption performance of 4,000 1,024-bit RSA transaction/second and 3,000 IKE negotiations/sec. Bulk SSL encryption and authentication performance is 300 Mbps and IPsec performance is 470 Mbps. Front panel serial and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports are complimented by dual PCI-X PMC module sites. Designed to support high-speed I/O, these PMC sites can be populated with SCSI320, FibreChannel or Myrinet PMC modules. For processor intensive applications, PrPMC�s can be added. XCalibur also auto-senses its slot location and can run in system or non-system mode, decreasing spares requirements for end users.

Utilizing technology from the high-volume PC laptop market, XCalibur 1000 provides dual SO-DIMM SDRAM sockets, supporting 128MB to 2GB of DDR memory running at 266MHz. For high-volume customers, Extreme encourages customer furnished memory to lower the total cost of ownership.

Themis Computer�s USPIIIi VMEbus computers incorporate Sun Microsystems UltraSPARC IIIi processors and a new system architecture and are designed to provide users with exceptional computing speed, graphics, and I/O capabilities. The new USPIIIi architecture delivers high data bandwidth, providing next-generation I/O performance for government, industrial, military, and commercial VME embedded processing applications. The USPIIIi is a multi-slot VME board assembly that implements a dual SMP UltraSPARC IIIi architecture. The USPIIIi may be configured with either one or two UltraSPARC IIIi CPUs.

The single CPU configuration consists of an I/O board and a CPU board assembly occupying two VME slots. An additional processor board is available as an ordering option; it connects to the first CPU board via the UltraSPARC IIIi processor local bus. A dual-CPU configuration occupies three VME slots. Although the I/O board includes a rich complement of I/O functionality, up to two additional 6U VME I/O boards may be configured with the base I/O board. The USPIIIi runs the Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 Operating Environments. The USPIIIi can also run 64-bit applications unmodified from the Solaris 7 Operating Environment, as well as 32-bit applications from previous versions of the Solaris Operating Environment, making these systems compatible with previous systems and software.
