Specifications

PROCESSORS: Intel® Pentium® 4 processor at speeds of 3.0GHz to 3.8GHz | Intel® Pentium® D processor at speeds of 2.8GHz to 3.4GHz | Intel® Celeron® D processor at 2.93GHz to 3.33GHz
CHIPSET: The System Host Board (SHB) uses the Intel® 945G chipset and 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 OSS expansion board for legacy I/O and serial port communications. Communications between the Intel® 945G Memory Controller Hub and the Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller Hub occurs over Direct Media Interface (DMI) at a data transfer rate of 10Gb/s in each direction.
PCI EXPRESS INTERFACES: The SHB 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 SHB and backplane can be provided by the OSS 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 SHB 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 SHB 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 SHB also provides a 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus interface on edge connector D.
ETHERNET INTERFACES: The SHB uses an internal x1 PCI Express link to connect the I/O Controller hub to a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet (Intel® 82571EB) controller chip. This design feature enables dual 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet interfaces on LAN 1 and LAN2. The LAN ports on the TML have RJ-45 connectors on the I/O bracket to provide the mechanical interfaces to the Ethernet networks. The ICH7R’s internal LAN Interconnect Interface (LCI) connected to the Intel® 82562G1 Ethernet controller chip to provide an additional 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface for use on PICMG® 1.3 backplanes via the SHB’s edge connector C.
I/O INTERFACES: Serial Interface
  The controller supports two full-function serial ports with independently programmable baud rates. The controller has two high-speed, NS16C550 compatible UARTs with Send/Receive 16-byte FIFOs. The IRQ for each serial port has BIOS selectable addressing.
  Floppy Drive Interface
  Supports up to two floppy disk drives in combinations of 360K to 2.88MB
  Keyboard and Mouse PS/2 Interface
  The mini DIN connector located on the I/O bracket provides an external interface for a PS/2 mouse and keyboard. A "Y" adapter plugged into the mini DIN connector allows the PS/2 mouse and keyboard to share the same port. Internal PS/2 mouse and keyboard headers are also available. A self-resetting fuse protects the +5V line of the keyboard and the mouse.
  Parallel Interface
  The parallel port interface is compatible with IBM PC/XT®, PC/AT®, PS/2™ , Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP1.7, EPP1.9) and Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) modes of operation. Both the EPP and ECP modes are IEEE 1284 compliant. The parallel port has BIOS selectable addressing.
FOUR SERIAL ATA/300 PORTS: The primary and secondary Serial ATA (SATA) ports on the TML board support four independent SATA storage devices such as hard disks and CD-RW devices. SATA produces higher performance interfacing by providing data transfer rates up to 300MB per second on each port. The SHB’s ICH7R I/O controller hub features Intel® Matrix Storage Technology, which allows the ICH7R’s SATA controller to be configured as a RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 implementations.
CACHE MEMORY (L2 AND L1): The Intel® Pentium® 4 processor 651 and other 600 series processors feature a level two (L2) cache memory integrated on-die with Advanced Transfer Cache memory that is 8-way set associative with ECC and runs at the full processor core frequency. The L2 cache memory size on these types of processor is 2MB, however, other Intel® Pentium® 4 processors (500 series) supported on the SHB have a 1MB L2 cache.
DDR2-667 MEMORY: The DDR2-667 memory interface is a dual-channel interface originating at the Memory Controller Hub, with each channel terminating at a DIMM module socket. The TML supports system memory transfer rates of either 400, 533 or 667MHz using unbuffered, non-ECC, Pc2-3200, PC2-4200 or PC2-5300 DIMMs. Maximum memory capacity is 4GB. When using a single PC2-5300 DIMM, the memory interface bandwidth is 5.4GB/s and using two DIMMs with equal memory capacities increases the peak memory bandwidth to 10.7GB/s. To maximize system performance and reliability Trenton recommends using DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD) data structure.
