SHB Express System Host Board with Intel® Pentium® 4 or Intel® Pentium® D Processor

Trenton’s T4L is a graphics-class, PICMG® 1.3 system host board that offers flexibility, performance and value. The System Host Board supports x16, x4 and x1 PCI Express™ links, and a 32-bit/33MHz PCI interface to a PICMG 1.3 backplane. The T4L handles a wide range of system option cards, from the latest x16 PCI Express video cards to legacy 32-bit/33MHz PCI cards. Socket-LGA775 processor options support 32-bit and 64-bit applications, have larger L2 cache memories and some processors feature dual-core architectures. The Intel® 945G MCH and Intel® ICH7R ICH deliver advanced T4L capabilities for demanding applications.

Chipset

The T4L’s Intel® 945G chipset combines advanced video and graphics capabilities with high-bandwidth interfaces such as a dual-channel DDR2-667, 1066MHz FSB, PCI Express x16 graphics port and PCI Express x4 and x1 links to a PICMG 1.3 backplane. An Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller Hub provides eight USB 2.0 and four SATA/300 ports. The ICH7R’s SATA controller supports independent DMA, Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) and integrated RAID level 0, 1, 5 and 10 functionality. The I/O Controller Hub’s LPC interface is routed to the board’s controlled impedance connector and supports an optional I/O expansion board (Trenton’s IOB30) for legacy I/O and serial port communications. A x1 PCI Express (PCIe) link is also routed from the ICH7R to the controlled impedance connector to provide an additional x1 PCIe link to a PICMG 1.3 backplane when using Trenton’s IOB31 board. Communications between the Intel® 945G Memory Controller Hub and the Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller Hub occurs over the Direct Media Interface (DMI) at a data transfer rate of 10Gb/s in each direction.

PCI Express Interfaces

Trenton’s T4L graphics-class system host board provides one x16 PCI Express link on the SHB’s edge connectors A and B. This x16 PCIe link is designed to support PCI Express video/graphics cards on an SHB Express™(PICMG 1.3) backplane. A x4 PCI Express link and five PCI Express reference clocks are also included on edge connectors A and B. An additional x1 PCI Express link between the T4L and backplane can be provided by Trenton’s optional IOB31 I/O Expansion Module. The x4 and x1 PCI Express links are used on SHB Express backplanes to support PCI Express option cards and the bridge chips that provide PCI/PCI-X option card support. During system initialization the T4L automatically negotiates with the PCI Express cards connected to the PCI Express links in order to set up communication between the devices. The net result is that the T4L system host board supports communication to x1, x4, x8 and x16 PCI Express boards as well as PCI/PCI-X cards via PCI Express-to-PCI/PCI-X bridge chip technology. The T4L also provides a 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus interface on edge connector D.
