1.1 Board Overview
1.1.1 Board Introduction
The CP308 is a highly integrated 3U, 4HP CompactPCI system controller board optionally
expandable to 8HP and available either as a front I/O version or as a rear I/O version. It has
been designed to support the small form factor (SFF) Intel® Core™2 Duo mobile processor
and the high-performance, small form factor Mobile Intel® GS45 Express Chipset with the
Intel® 82801IUX I/O Controller Hub (ICH9M-SFF). The CP308 uses Aptio®, AMI’s next
generation BIOS firmware based on the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (uEFI)
specification and the Intel® Platform Innovation Framework for EFI.
The board supports the Intel® Core™2 Duo processors ranging from 1.2 GHz to 2.26 GHz
processor speed built on 45-nm process technology and in a 956-ball Micro-FCBGA package
providing 64 kB L1 and up to 6 MB L2 cache as well as up to 1066 MHz front side bus (FSB)
speed.
The CP308 utilizes the Intel® GS45 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GS45 GMCH) and the
ICH9M-SFF I/O Controller Hub.
Two SO-DIMM sockets are available on the CP308 to provide up to 8 GB dual-channel, third-
generation Double Data Rate (DDR3) memory without Error Checking and Correcting running
at 800/1066 MHz.
The CP308 comes with two Gigabit Ethernet ports with Wake-on-LAN support (available on front
I/O and switchable to rear I/O), one high-resolution VGA interface (CRT), two COM ports, one
High-Definition Audio (HDA) interface, one PS/2 interface as well as onboard connectors such
as one high-speed graphics extension connector (PCIe x16) and one high-speed I/O extension
connector for flexible 8HP expandability. In addition, four SATA interfaces, two for the onboard
SATA connectors and two for the high-speed I/O extension connector or rear I/O are provided.
Further interfaces include up to eight USB 2.0 ports, two on front I/O, two on rear I/O, three for
the onboard high-speed I/O extension connector and one on the onboard USB 2.0 connector.
The CP308 provides support for one USB 2.0 NAND Flash module, two 8HP I/O expansion mod-
ules, and one rear I/O module.
The board supports one 32-bit/33 MHz CompactPCI interface. When installed in the system
slot, the interface is enabled, and when installed in a peripheral slot, the CP308 is isolated from
the CompactPCI bus.
The CP308 provides safety and security via an Integrated Trusted Platform Module (iTPM) 1.2
included in the chipset. System management control is provided through a dedicated onboard
System Management Controller (SMC).
Designed for stability and packaged in a rugged format, the board fits into all applications
situated in industrial environments, including I/O intensive applications where only one slot is
available for the CPU, making it a perfect core technology for long-life applications.
Components which have high temperature tolerance have been selected from embedded
technology programs, and therefore offer long-term availability.
There are various operating systems available for the CP308. For detailed information, please
