Irvine, California, May 29, 2009 – Advantech, the leading global ePlatform services provider, today announced its new PICMG 1.3 full-sized system host board (SHB) PCE-7214, a server-grade PICMG 1.3 full-size SHB featuring dual Intel Quad/Dual-Core Xeon® computing power. It is an ideal solution for industrial HPC (high-performance PC) applications such as medical image processing, environment monitoring, and telecommunications.
Great Chips
PCE-7214 is designed with an Intel® E5100 server chipset and has two LGA771 sockets to support dual Intel® Quad-Core or Dual-Core Xeon® processors with 1333 MHz FSB and DDR2 667 MHz ECC, and registered SDRAM up to 32 GB. High computing power makes it suitable for today’s industrial applications that need intense image or data processing.
Flexible Expansion Capability
The PCIe lanes from PCE-7214 northbridge can be flexibly configured as PCIe x16, x8, or x4 ports, plus four PCIe x1 lanes from the southbridge; the PCE-7214 can be used with all Advantech PCE-5000 and PCE-7000 series backplanes for utilizing PCIe x16, x8, x4 and x1 add-on cards. With 30 supporting Advantech backplanes, the PCI, PCI-X, and PCIe expansion options are both robust and numerous.
Great Connectivity
PCE-7214 is rich in I/O interfaces: it has six SATA 2 ports with RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10, providing high data transmission rates (300 MB/sec) and super-reliable read/write performance. The two serial ports (COM ports) can be used for device control applications. Dual Gigabit Ethernet LANs offer strong networking capability.
Integrated Server-Grade Graphics
PCE-7214 has a PCIe x1 interface XGI Volari Z11 graphics controller with 64 MB independent frame buffer memory, making it a low power and fanless on-board graphic solution. PCE-7214 provides targeted performance and reliable graphic capabilities for industrial server applications.
In addition to board-level products, Advantech also offers rack-mount and wall-mount chassis options; with PCE-7214 joining the product portfolio, Advantech now can provide new, complete high-performance system-level solutions for industrial customers.
