SC5-FESTIVAL • CompactPCI® Serial CPU Board • Intel® Xeon® Processor

General

The SC5-FESTIVAL is a rich featured high

performance 4HP/3U CompactPCI® Serial CPU

board, equipped with an Intel® Xeon® E3

familiy mobile workstation processor (Kaby Lake

Halo platform) for demanding applications. For

scalability, the SC5-FESTIVAL is also available

with a 7th Generation Intel® Core™ Kaby Lake

processor.

The SC5-FESTIVAL front panel is provided with

two Gigabit Ethernet jacks, two USB 3.0

receptacles, and two DisplayPort connectors. In

addition, up to two USB Type-C front panel

receptacles are available as an option, one of

them usable alternatively as (third) DisplayPort.

On-board mass-storage solutions are based on

low profile mezzanine expansion cards, which

accommodate up to two M.2 style SSD

modules. One of the M.2 sockets is suitable for

a fast NVMe (PCIe Gen3 x 4) module, and the

other for a low cost SATA type M.2.

The SC5-FESTIVAL is equipped with up to 32GB

DDR4 RAM with ECC support. Up to 16GB

memory-down are provided for rugged

applications, and another 16GB are available via

the DDR4 ECC SO-DIMM socket.

The powerful Xeon® E3-1500 v6 series

processor is accompanied by the CM238 mobile

PCH, for a maximum of high speed I/O

resources (e.g. PCI Express®, SATA, USB). Thus,

22 PCIe lanes are available for backplane use,

and up to 8 lanes for local mezzanine

expansion.

The SC5-FESTIVAL is provided with an on-board

SATA hardware RAID controller, enabling high-

capacity mass storage solutions across the

CompactPCI® Serial backplane.

As an option, up to eight Gigabit Ethernet Ports

are available via the backplane connector P6

(S80-P6 low profile mezzanine expansion card).
