S80-P6

Low Profile Mezzanine Card for CPU Boards

New Mezzanine Connector Style (SC4-CONCERTO)

M.2 SSD (NVMe PCIe x4 Gen3)
Gigabit Ethernet Switching over Backplane (8-Port Star/Mesh)

Available as a mezzanine add-on expansion board e.g. to the SC4-CONCERTO and successor CPU carrier cards, the main purpose of the S80-P6 is to provide a Solid State Drive mass storage solution, and in addition to supply the backplane with eight Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The S80-P6 is equipped with an M.2 PCIe x4 socket, suitable for a high speed NVMe type SSD module, with a maximum capacity of 2TB as of current, sufficient for installation of an operating system and also data storage.

A nine-port Gigabit Ethernet switch is provided on-board. Eight ports are available for CompactPCI® Serial backplane communication via the P6 connector. Another port is connected to the local GbE controller.

The Gigabit Ethernet switch provides latest features such as 802.1 Audio Video Bridging (AVB/TSN) and Quality of Service (QoS) support, and allows light in-band managment.

Ethernet is the preferred interface for a multiprocessing configuration. With a suitable Ethernet enabled CompactPCI® Serial backplane, both networking architectures are supported, either single star for reasonable backplane cost, or full mesh for optimum system flexibility.

The S80-P6 connects to the mezzanine expansion connectors HSE1 and HSE2 of the CompactPCI® Serial CPU carrier board, maintaining the 4HP (20.32mm) total assembly height.
