Short Description
The CC8-BLUES was designed for
CompactPCI
®
multi-processing systems, with
several CPU boards sharing a common CPCI
backplane. Likewise equipped with an Intel
Celeron
®
or Pentium-III
®
up to 1GHz, the 3U
single-size Eurocard provides for a dual IEEE
1394 port, Ethernet, USB and graphics
interface.
A CompactFlash socket holds either an ATA
Flash card (silicon disk) or an IBM Microdrive,
useful as on-board mass storage and boot
device.
With multi-processing systems and high
density cluster computing in mind, several
CC8-BLUES as slaves can coexist with any
system-controller CPU acting as master on a
common CompactPCI backplane. Due to its
low-profile passive heatsink, the hot swap
capable board requires only 4HP mounting
space.
With a variety of different interfaces and its
excellent computing power, the CC8-BLUES
copes perfectly with any communications
task.
