02D004-02 (MEN MIKRO)

With the Mobile Pentium 4 processor, the 845G chipset technology (400MHz local bus frequency) and its 64-bit/66-MHz bridge to the CompactPCI bus (32-bit/33-MHz on board), the 6U Single-Board Computer D4 is based on a powerful computing core. Standard versions come with the 1.7 GHz and 2.2 GHz processors from the Intel "Embedded Line". The D4 can operate as a system-slot card for any CompactPCI or PXI system, with the system slot capable of being placed either left or right in the enclosure. The 1-slot D4 supports full hot swap and is compatible with PICMG 2.16 and the requirements of a server blade. The 845G chipset supports up to 1 GB of 200-MHz DDRAM. Application code is conveniently stored in a scalable CompactFlash which is controlled via IDE. A second IDE channel allows direct connection of an onboard 2.5" hard disk. The chipset also features a DVI graphics controller which allows for attachment of both advanced and legacy flat-panel displays and CRT monitors. Three onboard USB ports provide universal interfaces to a variety of peripheral devices (such as keyboard, mouse, printer, modem, or camera). For high-speed networking and field bus interfacing, the D4 features two or three Gigabit Ethernet lines (depending on the model). Further interfaces include two COMs, keyboard/mouse, floppy and parallel ports. DVI, keyboard/mouse, 2 Gigabit Ethernet, 1 USB and 1 COM are conveniently available at the front panel of the D4. All the other functions are available via the rear I/O adapter. The rear I/O adapter is compatible with that of the MEN D2 CPU board (Pentium® MMX SBC) to provide an easy upgrade path from D2 to D4.Further flexible I/O extension is provided by using the two PC-MIP slots or one PMC slot on the D4 CPU board. The mezzanine signals are provided at the front or via the rear I/O adapter. The Phoenix BIOS on the D4 was especially designed for embedded system applications.
