Description
The GX7924, which is based on the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, offers twice the performance of previous generation processors with no increase in power consumption. Combined with the E7520 and 6300ESB chipsets, the GX7924 offers server class data throughput and performance. When installed in a GX7000A or GX7100A chassis, the controller provides an integrated, high performance, single slot, PXI controller solution – supporting all integrated chassis peripherals (hard drive, DVD, etc.) and providing a variety of I/O interfaces including USB, Gigabit Ethernet, and RS232. Additional flexibility is provided by the front panel accessible PMC slot, which can accommodate a variety of interfaces and functions for specific applications or needs.
Features
The GX7924 employs the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and offers high performance data throughput of up to 6.4 GB/second. ECC memory is fast and reliable and up to 4GB of dual channel 400 MHz DDR2 SDRAM can be installed via two 200-pin SODIMM sockets.
The highly integrated GX7924 features a PMC / XMC site, and the Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub provides advanced I/O technology including USB 2.0 (40X faster than USB 1.1), Serial ATA150 and an onboard 64/66 PCI-X bus.
Up to 3 Gigabit Ethernet ports (2 ports at the front and 1 at the rear) provide full PICMG 2.16 support. The GX7924 features full rear I/O connectivity as well as front panel status LEDs that provide debug and diagnostic information.
Applications
- GX70xx chassis controllers
- GX71xx chassis controllers
