System Requirements

The SCL-RHYTHM is a mezzanine side card, to

be fixed on top of a suitable CPU carrier board.

The pitch between carrier PCB and mezzanine

PCB is 4HP, resulting in a 8HP common front

panel for the entire assembly. Two mezzanine

inter-board connectors are provided, for

distribution of PCI Express® signals from the

CPU carrier to the SCL-RHYTHM side board.

The SCL-RHYTHM also is a carrier board itself,

which accommodates an M.2 NVMe SSD

storage module.

It is recommended to use a CompactPCI® Serial

backplane which provides the CPU card system

slot on the right edge, in order to prevent loss

of a peripheral slot (the SCL-RHYTHM is then

positioned out of the backplane shape).

The SCL-RHYTHM can be used e.g. with the

SC5-FESTIVAL CPU card. The SCL PCB does not

cover the CPU board with respect to the heat

sink area.

Hence, the CPU card may be equipped with a

heat sink which utilises the full 8HP height

available for the assembly unit, for optimized

heat dissipation.
