SC2-PRESTO
CompactPCI© Serial CPU Card • 4th Generation Intel® Core™ i7-4xxx Processor
Available as a mezzanine add-on expansion board (aka side board) to the SC1-ALLEGRO, SC2-PRESTO and SC3-LARGO CompactPCI® Serial CPU cards, the SCS-TRUMPET provides a variety of frequently required I/O functions available via front panel connectors. Additional interfaces are available as an option via rear I/O. The SCS-TRUMPET can be equipped with an on-board 2.5-inch SATA 6G SSD/HDD, or two M.2 style SATA modules, up to the 2280 format, for miscellaneous mass storage needs.
For dual- or triple-screen applications (in addition to the primary DP video connector(s) on the CPU carrier board), the SCS-TRUMPET front panel is equipped with a DisplayPort connector. Two USB 3.0 jacks allow for attachment of high speed peripheral devices. Audio and legacy signal support is provided in addition. As an option, 6 x USB 3.0 and 4 x SATA 6G (RAID) are available via rear I/O, for use either with a RIO transition module, or secondary CPCI Serial backplane.
The SCS-TRUMPET can accommodate a 2.5-inch SATA drive (SATA docking connector), which is also suitable for a Half-Slim SATA SSD module. In addition, the SCS-TRUMPET can be populated with two M.2 (NGFF) SATA based SSD storage modules, up to the 2280 size.
The SCS-TRUMPET expands the suite of front panel connectors of a particular CPU carrier board by two USB 3.0 receptacles, a DisplayPort video output, 3.5mm Audio In/Out jacks, and a D-Sub EIA-232 COM port connector. Alternatively, a second COM port connector or up to three additional USB 2.0 jacks are available on request.
