User Guide • SC2-PRESTO • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • Intel® CoreTM 4xxx Processor

Overview

The SC2-PRESTO is a rich featured high performance 4HP/3U CompactPCI® Serial CPU board, equipped with a 4th generation Intel® Core™ mobile processor (Haswell dual- or quadcore). The SC2-PRESTO front panel is provided with two Gigabit Ethernet jacks, two USB 3.0 receptacles, and two mDP connectors, compliant with the DisplayPort 1.2 standard for Multi-Stream-Transport (MST). Local expansion mezzanine cards are available for additional I/O.

The SC2-PRESTO is equipped with up to 16GB Low Power RAM with ECC support. 8GB memory-down are provided for rugged applications, and another 8GB are available via the DDR3L ECC SO-DIMM socket. The on-board SATA 6G RAID controller allows for powerful mass storage solutions via the CompactPCI® Serial backplane. Low profile SSD mezzanine modules are available as on-board storage solution, in addition.

While mechanically compliant to CompactPCI

Classic, CompactPCI® Serial (PICMG® CPCIS.0) defines a completely new card slot, based on PCI Express®, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet and USB serial data lines. Up to 6 high-speed backplane connectors P1 - P6 are provided on a system slot controller such as the SC2-PRESTO, which can be considered as a root hub with respect to most signal lines. A passive backplane is used for distribution of a defined subset of I/O channels from the system slot to each of up to eight peripheral slots in a CompactPCI® Serial system.

Most CompactPCI® Serial peripheral slot cards require only the backplane connector P1, which comprises PCIe, SATA and USB signals, resulting in a concise and inexpensive peripheral board design. More powerful peripheral cards profit from so called Fat Pipe slots (PCIe x 8).

The SC2-PRESTO is a native CompactPCI® Serial CPU card, suitable for usage in a pure CPCI Serial environment. Due to its generous backplane capabilities (22 x PCI Express® lanes, 6 x USB2, 2 x USB3, 7 x SATA/RAID, 2 x GbE), very powerful industrial systems can be built.

The SC2-PRESTO is equipped with 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 controllers such as SATA, USB 3.0 and Gigabit Ethernet, or a third video output. Most mezzanine side cards can accommodate in addition a 2.5-inch drive.

Typically, the SC2-PRESTO and the related side card would come as a readily assembled 8HP unit. As an alternate, low profile Flash based mezzanine storage modules are available that fit on the SC2-PRESTO while maintaining the 4HP profile. The C47-MSATA module e.g. is equipped with two very fast MSATA Solid State Drives (SSD), which is suitable for installation of any popular operating system.

Microprocessor

The SC2-PRESTO is equipped with an Intel® CoreTM i7, i5 or i3 4th generation mobile ECC processor (code name “Haswell”). These low power processors provide integrated graphics, memory controller and voltage regulators, which results in a very efficient platform design.

The CoreTM i7/i5/i3 processor family includes units with several thermal design power (TDP) classes to fit the customers requirements: 47W, 37W and 25W. The processors are housed in a Micro FC-BGA package for direct soldering to the PCB, i.e. the chip cannot be removed or changed by the user.

The processors supported by the SC2-PRESTO are running at core clock speeds up to 2.4GHz for quad core and up to 2.7GHz on dual core devices. Due to Enhanced Intel® SpeedStep® and Intel® Turbo Boost Technology each core can decrease or increase its nominal operating frequency. The clock speed is chosen depending on the power states of the processor cores/graphics engine, the currently required performance, and the actual core temperature.

Power is applied across the CompactPCI

connector P1 (12V). The processors core voltage are

generated by a switched voltage regulator according to Intels VR12.5 voltage regulator specification.

User Guide • SC2-PRESTO • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • Intel® CoreTM 4xxx Processor

Thermal Considerations

In order to avoid malfunctioning of the SC2-PRESTO, take care of appropriate cooling of the processor and system, e.g. by a cooling fan suitable to the maximum power consumption of the CPU chip actually in use. The processor contains digital thermal sensors (DTS) that are readable via special CPU registers. DTS allows to get the temperatures of each CPU core separately.

Two further temperature sensors, located in the system hardware monitor LM87, allows for acquisition of the boards surface temperature and the thermal state of the onboard system memory channel. Beside this the LM87 also monitors most of the supply voltages. A suitable software on Microsoft Windows® systems to display both, the temperatures as well as the supply voltages, is Speedfan, which can be downloaded from the web. After installation, both temperatures and voltages can be observed permanently from the Windows® taskbar.

The SC2-PRESTO is equipped with a passive heatsink. Its height takes into account the 4HP limitation in mounting space of a CompactPCI® board. In addition, a forced vertical airflow through the system enclosure (e.g. bottom mount fan unit) is strongly recommended (>20m

/h or 2m/s (400LFM) around the CPU slot). Be sure to thoroughly discuss your actual cooling needs with EKF. Generally, the faster the CPU speed the higher its power consumption. For higher ambient temperatures, consider increasing the forced airflow to 3m/s (600LFM) or more.

The table showing the supported processors above give also the maximum power consumption (TDP) of a particular processor. Fortunately, the power consumption is by far lower when executing typical Windows® or Linux tasks. The heat dissipation increases when e.g. rendering software like the Acrobat Distiller is executed.

The Core

processors support Intel's Enhanced SpeedStep® technology. This enables dynamic switching between multiple core voltages and frequencies depending on core temperature and currently required performance. The processors are able to reduce their core speed and core voltage in multiple steps down to 800MHz. Additional a reduction of the graphics core clock (down to 200MHz) and voltage is possible. This leads to an obvious reduction of power consumption resulting in less heating.

A further way to reduce power consumption is achieved by integrating the voltage regulators on the die of the 4th generation CoreTM processors. This embedding allows the processor to regulate the voltages to each core, graphics, cache and other units separately depending on their performance needs. Parts that are currently idle may switched off to save power.

Main Memory

The SC2-PRESTO features two channels of DDR3L SDRAMs with support of ECC (Error Correction Code). One channel is realized with 18 memory devices soldered to the board (Memory Down) and delivers a capacity of up to 8GB with a clock frequency of 1600MHz (PC3L-12800).

The 2nd channel provides a socket for installing a 204-pin ECC SODIMM module thus allowing a simple expansion of system memory (max. module height = 1.25 inch). Supported are unbuffered DDR3L ECC SODIMMs (72-bit) with VDD=1.35V featuring on-die termination (ODT), according the PC3L-12800 specification. Minimum module size is 512MB; maximum module size is 8GB. Please note that neither standard DDR3 SODIMMs nor DDR3L without ECC feature do not work on SC2-PRESTO.

It is recommended to add a SODIMM module with same size as the Memory Down to get best performance. Since some of the system memory is dedicated to the graphics controller a typically development of 2x4GB of memory is recommended to run operating systems like Windows® 7 or Windows® 8.

The memory controller supports symmetric and asymmetric memory organization. The maximum memory performance can be obtained by using the symmetric mode. When in this mode, the memory controller accesses the memory channels in an interleaved way. Since CoreTM processors support Intels Flex Memory Technology, interleaved operation isn't limited to systems using memory channels of equal capacity. In the case of unequal memory population the smaller memory channel dictates the address space of the interleaved accessible memory region. The remainder of the memory is then accessed in non-interleaved mode.

In asymmetric mode the memory always will be accessed in a non-interleaved manner with the drawback of less bandwidth. The only meaningful application of asymmetric mode is the special case when only one memory channel is populated (i.e. the SODIMM socket may be left empty).

The contents of the SPD EEPROM on the SODIMM is used by the BIOS at POST (Power-on Self Test) to get any necessary timing parameters to program the memory controller within the chipset.

Graphics Subsystem

The structure of the graphics subsystem has changed compared to the predecessor of the Intel 4

generation CoreTM processor. The main graphics interfaces like DisplayPort and DVI are part of the processor. Only a few sideband signals (DDC/Auxiliary channel, hot plug detection) as well as the VGA interface is remained at the PCH QM87.

The SC2-PRESTO offers two Mini DisplayPort (mDP) interfaces in the front panel. Adapters to convert Mini DisplayPort to any other popular interface standard are available.

A 3rd DisplayPort is fed to the on-board connector P-DP3. EKF expansion boards like PCS-BALLET feature the possibility to gain access to the 3rd DisplayPort interface.

As an alternate, the SC2-PRESTO can be equipped with an ordinary HD D-Sub 15-lead connector (VGA style). This connector is suitable for analog signals only. Nevertheless also flat-panel displays can be attached to the D-Sub connector but with minor reduced image quality.

Independent from the video connector actually in use, Mini DisplayPort, DVI or VGA, the VESA DDC standard is supported. This allows to read out important parameters, e.g. the maximum allowable resolution, from the attached monitor. DDC power, +3.3V on DisplayPort connectors, is delivered via electronic switches to protect the board from an external short-circuit condition (1.5A) and to prevent back current flows. On the VGA interface a resettable fuse (0.5A) is used supply the +5V DDC power.

Graphics drivers can be downloaded from the Intel web site.

LAN Subsystem

The Ethernet LAN subsystem is composed of four Gigabit Ethernet ports: One Intel i217LM Physical Layer Transceiver (PHY) using the PCH QM87 internal MAC and three Intel i210IT Gigabit Ethernet Controllers. These devices provide also legacy 10Base-T and 100Base-TX connectivity. Two of the Ethernet ports are fed to two RJ45 jacks located in the front panel, the others are attached to the

CompactPCI

Serial interface on P6. Each port includes the following features:

< One PCI Express lane per Ethernet port (250MB/s) < 1000Base-Tx (Gigabit Ethernet), 100Base-TX (Fast Ethernet) and 10Base-T (Classic Ethernet)

capability.

< Half- or full-duplex operation. < IEEE 802.3u, 802.3ab Auto-Negotiation for the fastest available connection. < Jumperless configuration (complete software-configurable).

Two bicoloured LEDs integrated into the dedicated RJ-45 connector in the front panel are used to signal the LAN link, the LAN connection speed and activity status. A further bicoloured LED in front panel labelled EB displays the state of the backplane network ports.

Each device is connected by a single PCI Express lane to the PCH. Their MAC addresses (unique hardware number) are stored in dedicated FLASH/EEPROM components. The Intel Ethernet software and drivers for the i217LM and i210IT are available from Intel's World Wide Web site for download.

When managing the board by Intel Active Management Technology (iAMT), the dedicated network port to do so is accessible by the RJ45 connector GbE1 (the upper port within the front panel).

Serial ATA Interface (SATA)

The SC2-PRESTO provides a total of ten serial ATA (SATA) ports, derived from three independent SATA controllers. Eight of these ports support data transfer rates of 6Gbps (600MB/s), 3Gbps (300MB/s) or

1.5Gbps (150MB/s), the remaining two ports up to 3Gbps. SATA controllers are located within the QM87 Platform Controller Hub that holds 6 SATA interfaces and in a separate SATA host controller Marvell 88SE9230, providing four SATA ports, all 6Gbps capable.

Three of the QM87 ports are fed to the high speed expansion connector P-HSE. This connector allows the installation of low profile expansion boards like C41-CFAST or C42-SATA to attach the popular CFast cards or Micro SATA SSDs (1.8-inch) respectively. Another mezzanine is the C47-MSATA, a carrier for two MSATA SSD modules.

The Marvell 88SE9230 is a SATA 6Gbps AHCI/RAID I/O controller connected via two PCI Express lanes (1GB/s) to the QM87. It supports hardware RAID levels 0, 1 and 10. All of its SATA ports as well as the three remaining QM87 ports are used to supply the CompactPCI® Serial SATA interfaces on the backplane.

A LED named HD located in the front panel, signals disk activity status of any QM87 SATA devices (green) or 88SE9230 devices (yellow).

Additionally a variety of side cards is available, suitable for mounting on the SC2-PRESTO in a 4HP (20.32mm) distance (resulting in 8HP front panel width for the assembly). Some of these side boards can accommodate a SATA drive, e.g. a 2.5-inch SSD.

Available for download from Intel's web site are drivers for popular operating systems, e.g. Windows® 7, Windows® 8 and Linux.

Drivers and software to manage the RAID configuration of the 88SE9230 (Windows® application) is provided by Marvell and can be downloaded from EKF’s website.

PCI Express® Interface

The SC2-PRESTO is provided with several PCI Express (PCIe) lanes for I/O expansion. Sixteen PCI Express lanes, originating from the CoreTM processor, are building the two fat pipes defined by CompactPCI

Serial. These two links consists of eight lanes with transfer rates of up to 8Gbps (PCI Express Gen 3).

The QM87 offers a total of eight PCI Express ports supporting PCIe Gen 2 speed (5GT/s). Four of them form the upstream link to a PCI Express switch. The output ports (downstream ports) of the PCIe switch are connected to the CompactPCI® Serial connectors P4/P5 (six lanes), to the local PCIe expansion interface connector P-PCIE (four lanes) and to two of the Ethernet controllers (i210IT).

Two small DIP switches (DS-P) located on the backside of the board are used to configure different lane widths to each of both downstream interfaces and to choose the interface transfer rate. Possible settings are

< Six links x 1 to CompactPCI® Serial P4/P5, two links x 1 to i217IT and a single link x 4 to P-PCIE < Six links x 1 to CompactPCI® Serial P4/P5, two links x 1 to i217IT and four links x 1 to P-PCIE < 2.5GT/s or 5GT/s transfer speed

See section “Configuration PCI Express Switch (DS-P)” for details.

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

The SC2-PRESTO is provided with fourteen USB ports. All of them are USB 2.0 capable, but four ports are also supporting the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed standard. Two USB 3.0 interfaces are routed to front panel connectors, the other two SuperSpeed ports are feed to the CompactPCI® Serial connectors P1 and P3.

The USB 2.0 interfaces are distributed to the front panel (two ports), two to the expansion board interface connectors P-EXP, four to the high speed expansion connector P-HSE, and six ports are available across the backplane connectors for CompactPCI® Serial.

The front panel USB connectors can source a minimum of 1.5A/5V each, over-current protected by two electronic switches. Protection for the USB ports on the expansion interfaces and on the

CompactPCI® Serial connectors is located on expansion boards and the boards on the CompactPCI

Serial backplane respective. The USB xHCI and two EHCI controllers handling the USB port operation at SuperSpeed, high-speed, full-speed and low-speed are integrated into the QM87 PCH.

An xHCI driver (USB 3.0) for Windows® 7 is provided by Intel and can be downloaded from EKF’s website.

Utility Interfaces

Besides the high speed mezzanine interface connectors P-HSE and P-PCIE, the SC2-PRESTO is provided with the utility interface expansion connector socket P-EXP. This connector comprises several interfaces, which may be useful for system expansion on mezzanine cards, as an option:

< HD Audio < LPC (Low Pin Count) < SMBus < 2 x USB

The SMBus is controlled by the QM87 platform controller hub. The SMBus signal lines on the P-EXP utility expansion connector can be switched on/off under software control (PCH GPIO) in order to isolate external components in case of an I2C address conflict.

The HD Audio port requires an additional audio codec, as provided e.g. on the PCS-BALLET side card.

The LPC bus presents an easy way to add legacy interfaces to the system. EKF offers a variety of mezzanine expansion boards (side cards), to be attached on top of the SC2-PRESTO, featuring all classic Super-I/O functionality, for example the PCS-BALLET. Access to the connectors PS/2 (mouse, keyboard), COM, USB and audio in/out is given directly from the front panel.

Real-Time Clock

The SC2-PRESTO has a time-of-day clock and 100-year calendar, integrated into the QM87 PCH. A battery on the board keeps the clock current when the computer is turned off. The SC2-PRESTO uses a holder to keep a BR2032 lithium coin cell, giving an autonomy of more than 5 years. Under normal conditions, replacement should be superfluous during lifetime of the board.

Alternately a BR2032 battery can be soldered in the board when board coating or shock/vibration is an interest.

In applications were the use of a battery is not permitted, a SuperCap can be soldered instead of the battery.

SPI Flash

The BIOS and iAMT firmware is stored in flash devices with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). Up to 16MByte of BIOS code, firmware and user data may be stored nonvolatile in these SPI Flashes.

The SPI Flash contents can be updated by a DOS or Linux based tool. This program and the latest SC2-PRESTO BIOS binary are available from the EKF website. Read carefully the enclosed instructions. If the programming procedure fails e.g. caused by a power interruption, the SC2-PRESTO may no more be operable. In this case you would possibly have to send in the board, because the Flash device is directly soldered to the PCB and cannot be changed by the user.

Reset

The SC2-PRESTO is provided with several supervisor circuits to monitor supply rails like the CPU core voltage, 1.5V, 3.3V or 5V.

To force a manual board reset, the SC2-PRESTO offers a small tactile switch within the front panel. This push-button is indent mounted and requires a tool, e.g. a pen to be pressed, preventing from being inadvertently activated.

The handle within the front panel contains a micro switch that is used to generate a power button event. By pressing the handle's red push button a pulse is triggered. Animated GIF: www.ekf.com/c/ccpu/img/reset_400.gif

NOTE: To prevent the board to cause a power button override, the handle should be closed immediately after unlocking the front panel handle. A power button override is triggered by opening the front panel handle for at least 4 seconds, which results in bringing the board to power state S5. In case of entering this state, unlock and lock the front panel handle a 2nd time to reenter normal power state S0 again. See also section 'PG (Power Good) LED' to see how the SC2-PRESTO indicates the different power states.

WARNING: The SC2-PRESTO will enter the power state S5 if the front panel handle is not closed properly when the system powers up. An open handle is signalled by a yellow blinking ‘PG LED’.

The manual reset push-button and the power button functionality of the front panel handle could be passivated by BIOS settings.

An alternative (and recommended) way to generate a system reset is to activate the signal PRST# located on CompactPCI® Serial connector P1 pin H2. Pulling this signal to GND will have the same effect as to push the tactile reset switch.

The healthy state of the SC2-PRESTO is indicated by the LED PG (Power Good) located in the front panel. This bicoloured LED signals different states of the board (see section below). As soon as this LED begins to lite green, all power voltages are within their specifications and the reset signal has been deasserted.
