PCE-5125 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
PCE-5125 is a PICMG 1.3 form-factor single host board which is designed with Intel®
Q57/3450 PCH for industrial applications that need high computing power and strong
I/O capability. PCE-5125 supports 32nm manufacture technology, LGA1156 socket
Intel® Core
TM
i7/i5/i3, Pentium® and Xeon
TM
processors that integrate memory and
graphic controllers and supports DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM up to 8GB. By supporting
advanced computing technology, PCE-5125 is suitable for computing power hungry
industrial applications.
PCE-5125 performs excellent graphic processing capability by its processor inte-
grated Intel® HD Graphics graphic core
Note2
with shared memory up to 1GB when 2
GB and above system memory installed. With this feature, PCE-5125 can provide
strong 2D/3D graphic processing power without an discrete graphic card to save user
extra cost, power consumption and thermal design effort for an add-on graphic card.
PCE-5125 also has rich I/O interfaces, and it can support Advantech PCE-5XXX and
7XXX backplanes to offer various expansion slots such as PCI, PCI-X and PCIe slots
with its PCIe lanes that are configurable as one x 16 or two x 8 and four x 1
Note2
going down to the backplane. The six SATA ports (300MB/sec) support software
RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 to be a cost-effective data reliability solution, the two on-board RS-
232 serial ports are for COM port based industrial control applications. With flexible I/
O and graphic expandability, PCE-5125 can be an excellent, cost effective graphic or
I/O oriented workstation class hardware platform.
With outstanding performance and exceptional features, PCE-5125 is the ideal com-
puting platform for advanced industrial applications.
PCI Express Port & Graphics Function Support
Note! Only Core™ i5 6XX, Core™ i3 and Pentium® processors have inte-
grated Intel® HD Graphics graphic cores; other processors do NOT
have graphic cores and need a discrete graphic card for graphic func-
tions.
Note! Only the workstation WG2 SKU plus Core™ i7, Core™ i5 7XX or Xeon®
processors can support Advantech backplanes of PCE-5XXX series and
7XXX series that are with single or dual PCIe x 8 slot(s). WG2 SKU plus
processors other than those mentioned above and QG2, QVG SKUs
plus all kinds of processors can ONLY support PCE-5XXX series prod-
ucts. Please see table below for detailed information.
