System Overview
PDSi's Intel-based VME x86 Processor Blade (VM86-N2) is a robust,
high-performance general purpose compute platform for use in VME
systems. This VME board is the latest addition to PDSi's family of
computing solutions built around Intel's Core 2 Duo processor. Featuring
the server-grade Intel 5100 chipset, this double-wide blade supports up to
4GB of ECC memory. It offers a convenient, pin-compatible replacement
for legacy 7751-based systems while offering upgraded technology,
higher performance, more memory and an extended product lifecycle.
The two-board VM86-N2 blade includes a PMC site (or optional parallel
port) on the lower board plus two additional PMC sites on the upper
board. Dual gigabit Ethernet ports and dual USB 2.0 ports provide high-
speed front communication links, and the VGA port gives access to high
resolution graphics capability. Onboard storage options are available in
the form of a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive and USB microDOC flash drive.
Legacy application support includes front-mounted PS/2, dual serial and
dual Ultra 160 SCSI channels, as well as rear floppy and SCSI interfaces.
Rear I/O interfaces are pin-compatible with existing 7751-based RTMs.
PDSi gives telecom, aerospace, and military OEMs the ability to deploy and upgrade high-reliability VME
solutions using this powerful compute blade based on the latest Intel technology. Extended availability from
PDSi is assured as key components are supported by embedded roadmaps. PDSi can also provide
customization, turnkey integration and support of VME systems, as well as extended warranty and repair
services.
