Embodiment
To illustrate according to embodiments of the invention in down with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a vertical view, shows the arrangement plan according to the single-borad computer machine plate 10 of industrial computer of the present invention.For example, single-borad computer machine plate 10 is to meet ATCA PICMG 3.0 or above standard.As shown in Figure 1, in single-borad computer machine plate 10, be provided with two central processing units (CPU) 12,14, memory controlling hub (MCH) 16, meet the I/O district I/O of XMC specification) 18,19 and meet I/O district (I/O) 20, i/o controller hub (ICH) 22, random access memory 24, and the power module 26 of PMC specification.
As shown in Figure 1, according to PICMG 3.0 or above standard, single-borad computer machine plate 10 is provided with three wiring Wiring areas such as zone 1, zone 2, zone 3, wherein, zone 1 is the Wiring area that is used for power management, zone 2 is the Wiring areas that are used for Fabric Interface, Base Interface etc., and zone 3 is the Wiring areas that are used for rear panel I/O (I/O) interconnection.Especially, the transmission that regional 2 districts are mainly used in differential wave is online, for example, as shown in Figure 2, for Fabric Interface, according to standard, the machine plate can provide up to 15 communication channels to Fabric Interface, each channel is made up of four ports, and each port is made up of two pairs of lines.
In the I/O district that meets the XMC standard 18,19 shown in Fig. 1, be provided with the adapter slot that is respectively applied for accord with PCI-X BUS, PCI EXPRESS standard, insert to carry out the function of output input for the adapter that meets these standards.In addition, XMC still is provided with the slot of slot for the adapter special use that meets PICMG 3.0 above standards.The opposite side of this slot is to be connected to zone 2, with the communication channel as the signal that transmits according to the differential wave mode.
With reference now to Fig. 3,, further specifies the configuration and the operation of single-borad computer machine plate 10 according to an embodiment of the invention.Two central processing units (CPU) 12,14 are connected to memory controlling hub 16, to instruct or order to DRAM 24 access datas or to peripheral unit transmission/reception.Memory controlling hub 16 provides for example connectivity port A, B, the C of three accord with PCI EXPRESS bus specifications respectively, and wherein, connectivity port A is connected to bridge 162 and PCI-Express/PCI-X bridge 164.The opposite side of bridge 162 is connected to regional 2 Wiring areas, and 64 connectors 202 that are connected to PMC I/O district, to set up communication channel between memory controlling hub 16 and PMC I/O district.
As shown in Figure 3, bridge 162 can become to meet the signal of DUAL 1000BASE-T for example from the data-switching of the accord with PCI EXPRESS bus of memory controlling hub 16 so that carry out data transmission with external device (ED), vice versa, perhaps, to become the signal of accord with PCI-X bus from the conversion of signals of the accord with PCI EXPRESS bus of memory controlling hub 16, to carry out data transmission, vice versa.Two connectivity port B of other of memory controlling hub 16 and C are connected to the connector 182,184 of being located at accord with PCI EXRESS standard in the two XMC I/ O districts 18,19 respectively, to set up communication channel between the two.
Note, as shown in Figure 3, XMC input/ output cards 18,19 among Fig. 1 is provided with the connector 186 of FABRIC interface special use, 188, connector 186,188 can be slot, and the FABRIC adapter inserts for example to allow, and be connected to the zone 2 of single-borad computer machine plate 10, for example, 2 districts, zone comprise pins such as J22/P22 and J23/P23.Because XMC I/ O district 18,19 is provided with and specializes in the slot that the FABRIC adapter inserts according to an embodiment of the invention, so, can allow to change easily to meet the FABRIC adapter of different specification, and need not revise or change any circuit or circuit on the single-borad computer machine plate 10.For example, in the time of will being replaced by the FABRIC communication interface that meets PICMG 3.3 standards as if the FABRIC communication interface that originally met PICMG 3.1 standards, only need the FABRIC adapter of PICMG 3.1 standards is pulled out from XMC 18 or 19, insert the adapter that meets PICMG 3.3 again and get final product.Herein, for the purpose of explanation, connector 186,188 is the example explanation to allow the holding FABRIC adapter, still, is not limited to only use for the FABRIC adapter, but can also holds with any adapter that transmits according to the differential wave mode.For example, in the specification of high speed storage device, SATA (Serial AT Attachment) and SAS (SerialAttached SCSI) carry out quick data transfering with the serial differential wave, therefore, the adapter that connector 186 or 188 also can allow to meet SATA or SAS specification inserts wherein, to carry out data transmission.
According to embodiments of the invention, can be in the plug-in card mode, the communication module of changing easily, apace on the single-borad computer machine plate can meet required communication specification, and does not need it is done the modification or the replacement of component of any circuit, also need not change monoblock single-borad computer machine plate.
Illustrated above according to embodiments of the invention, but, scope of the present invention is not limited to the foregoing description, any person skilled in the art person, after reading above-mentioned explanation, under situation not departing from spirit of the present invention, can carry out modification, variation or the replacement of different equivalences, scope of the present invention only is subject to the scope that accompanying the application's claim is defined.
