PCI-7020 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
The PCI-7020 is a half-size CPU card designed with the Intel® 945GC and ICH7R
chipset (I/O controller) to support Core® 2 Duo / Dual-Core Pentium® / Pentium® 4 /
Celeron® D processors (refer to "Processor Support" on page v) with a 533/800/1066
MHz front side bus and DDR2 533/667 MHz memory up to 4 GB. It is the best solu-
tion for high-performance computing and applications in which a wide I/O bandwidth
is demanded.
The PCI-7020 offers a high-performance cost-saving integrated graphics unit, built
into the Intel® 945GC chipset, and features the unique Intel® Extreme Graphics
architecture to maximize VGA performance and share system memory up to 224 MB.
It has 2 SODIMM sockets in two separated memory channels. It accepts up to 4 GB
DDR2 SDRAM memory, enough for most applications. The PCI-7020 has a single
Gigabit Ethernet LAN via dedicated PCI Express x 1 bus, which offers bandwidths up
to 500 MB/s, eliminating network data flow bottlenecks, and incorporating Gigabit
Ethernet. High reliability and outstanding performance make the PCI-7020 the ideal
platform for industrial networking applications.
Three Serial ATA2 ports (up to 300 MB/s) allow the use of thin and long SATA cables
for storage devices, eliminating cabling issues inside the industrial-grade chassis. In
addition, the PCI-7020 also provides most of the popular I/O interfaces such as six
USB 2.0 ports, 2 RS-232 ports and enhanced parallel port interface.
The PCI-7020 is designed with consideration for extended reliability, and is built
especially to suit demanding industrial environments. The CMOS data backup and
restore function protects the BIOS setup data from loss due to battery failure.
