The Emerson/Motorola/Force Computers SPARC/CPCI-550/1024-650-L512-8/IPMI is a CompactPCI single board computer built on the UltraSPARC platform for telecommunications, industrial control, and military applications. It delivers high-performance computing in a cPCI form factor with integrated IPMI support for remote system management and monitoring across enterprise deployments.
## Technical Specifications
• **Processor:** UltraSPARC-IIi at 650 MHz
• **System Memory:** 1 GB SDRAM
• **Cache:** 512 MB L2
• **Flash Storage:** 8 MB
• **Bus Architecture:** Dual independent 64-bit PCI buses
• **Form Factor:** CompactPCI (cPCI)
• **Management Interface:** IPMI support
## Key Features
• PCI-to-PCI Bridge (PPB) technology enables flexible I/O expansion and universal slot operation—boards function as either system or peripheral modules within the cPCI backplane.
• Dual 64-bit PCI buses support independent concurrent operations and throughput scaling.
• PMC expansion sites accept mezzanine cards operating at 33 MHz or 66 MHz.
• IPMI implementation provides out-of-band monitoring, alerting, and remote management for distributed systems.
## Typical Applications
• 3G wireless infrastructure and switch-fabric systems
• VoIP and voice communications platforms
• Telecommunications and data communications switching
• Industrial automation and robotics control
• Military and aerospace embedded systems
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed for CompactPCI Packet-Switching Backplane (cPSB) systems. Follows Sun Microsystems’ embedded processor roadmap, offering migration pathways for power-optimized upgrades. Supports potential legacy integration with VMEbus infrastructure where transition strategies are required.
