SCL-RHYTHM

Mezzanine CPU Side Card M.2 NVMe & Quad M12-X Gigabit Ethernet PCIe x4 (NVMe) M.2 SSD Quad Front Panel M12-X Gigabit Ethernet

The SCL-RHYTHM is a mezzanine side card for EKF CPU boards, provided with a socket for a PCI Express® based M.2 mass storage module, and four independent Gigabit Ethernet controllers for universal networking.
The SCL-RHYTHM is suitable for EKF CPU cards such as the SC4-CONCERTO or SC5-FESTIVAL, which are equipped with two HSE (high speed expansion) mezzanine connectors, for eight PCIe® Gen3 lanes. The M.2 socket can accommodate an NVMe type SSD module up to the 2280 form factor, with a PCIe® x4 Gen3 interface for superior data transfer rates. When used as main mass storage device, the NVMe SSD can speed up the overall system performance dramatically. Four I210-IT networking controllers supporting TSN Gigabit Ethernet are wired to X-coded M12 front panel connectors, for rugged applications such as railway and transportation.
