Keysight M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller User Guide 13
M9037A Functional Description Introduction
CPU, Memory and Chipset
By introducing Intel quad core technology, the M9037A has four computing
engines in a single processor, which can execute independent tasks at the same
time in a multi-tasking environment. Combining this superior performance with a
variety of instrument platforms makes the M9037A an ideal solution for your
hybrid PXIe-based testing system.
The M9037A is also specifically designed to deliver excellent durability and
reliability. A large aluminum heat sink dissipates heat generated by CPU and
other critical components uniformly to maintain a stable operating temperature.
Processor
- Intel i7-4700EQ (Haswell) 2.4 GHz quad core
- DMI (Direct Media Interface) with 1 GB/s of bandwidth in each direction
Chipset
- Mobile Intel QM57 Express
Memory
- Two standard 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM sockets
- Supports +1.5V DDR3, 1600 MHz RAM per socket (up to 16 GB total)
- Supports non-ECC, unbuffered memory
CMOS Backup Battery
Keysight’s M9037A is equipped with a 3.0 V “coin cell” lithium battery. This
battery powers the clock circuit and retains configuration memory in CMOS RAM
while the system is turned off.
The M9037A was tested with the following RAM module
configurations:
- one 4 GB RAM module
- one 8 GB RAM module
- two 8GB RAM modules (a total of 16 GB RAM)
Other configurations have not been tested.
