Advantech PCE-5126 - Introduction; Features & Benefits

PCE-5126 User Manual 2
1.1 Introduction
PCE-5126 is a PICMG 1.3 form-factor single host board which is designed with
Intel®B65/Q67/C206 PCH for industrial applications that need high computing power
and strong I/O capability. PCE-5126 supports 32nm manufacturing technology,
LGA1155 socket Intel® CoreTM i7/i5/i3, Pentium® and XeonTM processors that inte-
grate memory and graphic controllers and supports DDR3 1333 MHz SDRAM up to
8GB. By supporting advanced computing technology, PCE-5126 is suitable for com-
puting power hungry industrial applications.
PCE-5126 performs excellent graphic processing capability by its processor inte-
grated Intel® HD Graphics graphic core with shared memory up to 1GB when 2GB
and above system memory installed. With this feature, PCE-5126 can provide strong
2D/3D graphic processing power without a discrete graphic card to save extra cost,
power consumption and thermal design effort.
PCE-5126 also has rich I/O interfaces, and it can support Advantech PCE-5XXX and
7XXX backplanes to offer various expansion slots such as PCI, PCI-X and PCIe slots
with its PCIe lanes that are configured as one x16 or two x8 and four x1. New SATA
Gen3 (600MB/sec) ports meet high data transfer performance applications, like stor-
age and DVR. Six SATA ports support software RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 to be a cost-effective
data reliability solution, the two on-board RS-232 serial ports are for COM port based
industrial control applications. With flexible I/O and graphic expandability, PCE-5126
can be an excellent, cost effective graphic or I/O oriented workstation class hardware
platform.
With outstanding performance and exceptional features, PCE-5126 is the ideal com-
puting platform for advanced industrial applications.
1.2 Features & Benefits
