 Execute Disable Bit  Intel® 64 Technology  Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® Technology  Intel® Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT)  Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology)

The Intel® Xeon® processor E3 1275V2/ E3 1225V2 /Core i3 3220 has a maximum TDP of 77W/55W and has an elevated case temperature specification. The elevated case temperatures are intended to meet the short-term thermal profile requirements of NEBS Level

3. The Intel® Xeon® processor is ideal for thermally constrained form factors in embedded servers, communications and storage markets.

Supported Processors, Maximum Power Dissipation

The following table describes the Intel® Xeon® processor E5 family CPUs supported by the aTCA-9300:

cache 8M 8M 3MB Clock 3.5GHz 3.2 3.3GHz QPI 8.0 GT/s 8.0 GT/s N/A TDP 77W 77W 55W

3.1.2 Memory

The aTCA-9300 adopts the Intel® Xeon® processor E3 (or Core™ i3) providing two memory channels supporting DDR3 800, 1066, 1333, and 1600 MT/s DIMMs. The maximum memory capacity is 32GB with memory interleaving support. The 400/533/667/800 MHz differential memory clocks are driven by the Intel® Xeon® processor E3 CPU with length-matching and impedance controlled through all the DIMM slots.

The DDR3 DIMMs support the I2C interface. They are connected together and routed to the PCH for the management.

Memory configuration changes are only permitted to be performed at the factory. Failure to comply with the above may result in damage to your board or improper operation.

3.2 Peripherals

The following peripherals are available on the aTCA-9300 blade

3.2.1 Reset

The aTCA-9300 is automatically reset by a precision voltage monitoring circuit that detects a drop in voltage below the acceptable operating limit of 4.85V for the 5V line and below 3.2V for the 3.3V line. Other reset sources include the Watchdog Timer, the face plate push-button switch and also the RESET signal from the IPMC. The aTCA-9300 responds to any of these sources by initializing local peripherals.

A reset will be generated by the following conditions:

 Power failure, +5 V supply falls below 4.1 V (typ.) or +3.3 V supply falls below

2.93 V (typ.)

 Pushbutton "RESET" pressed  Watchdog time-out  IPM controller reset

3.3 I/O Interfaces

3.3.1 USB

The aTCA-9300 supports four USB 2.0 ports:

 Two Type-A ports on front panel  Two ports routed to RTM

On the USB 2.0 front panel port, a USB cable up to 5 meters in length can be used.

On the USB 2.0 Rear I/O ports, it is strongly recommended to use a cable less than 3 meters in length for USB 2.0 devices.

The USB 2.0 ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. Hi-speed USB 2.0 allows data transfers of up to 480 Mb/s, 40 times faster than a full-speed USB (USB 1.1). One USB peripheral may be connected to each port.

With the aTCA-R6270 (RTM), the aTCA-9300 supports two additional USB ports on the I/O panel of the RTM.

3.3.3 Ethernet Connection

The aTCA-9300 is equipped with one quad-port Intel® I350 AM4 Gigabit Ethernet Controller and one dual-port Intel® 82576EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller which provide six GbE ports in total. In default configuration, four ports from the Intel® I350 AM4 Gigabit Ethernet Controller are connected to the front panel RJ-45 ports. Two GbE ports from the Intel® 82576EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller are connected to Zone 2 Base Channels 1 and 2 (BCH1/BCH2).

The aDB-6100-A Fabric riser card is installed on the aTCA-9300 by default and provides support for different configurations of Fabric Channels 1 and 2. Equipped with an Intel® 82599EB Ethernet controller, the riser card provides two 10GbE links to Fabric Channels 1 and 2 (FCH1/FCH2).

With the aTCA-R6270 RTM installed, the aTCA-9300 supports dual 10GbE SFP+ ports from the Intel 82599ES Network Interface Controller connected to the PCIe x8 bus of CPU1.
