1.1 Introduction

The MIC-3358 is a CompactPCI® server blade with Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor-M on board to compliant with Compact Packet Switching Backplane (cPSB) systems. Supporting the PICMG 2.16 specification, the MIC-3358 delivers a cost performance platform for those applications that demand high performance. It is an ideal platform for emerging appli- cation such as switch-fabric blade server, mission critical and computing intensive applications.

The new MIC-3358 has been optimized for the Intel® Pentium® 4 Pro- cessor-M and Intel® 845E Chipset. It unveils as a high performance cPCI platforms, delivering compelling system bus speed performance across the 400 MHz with Intel NetBurst™ Micro-Architecture, Its inno- vated wider data paths and flexible memory refresh technology optimize the DDR SDRAM performance in MIC-3358.

High Performance Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor -M

The MIC-3358 supports Intel® Pentium® 4 processor-M 1.7GHz and 2.2GHz , with u-FCPGA package. The Intel® Pentium®4 processor-M has on-chip 512KB L2 cache providing high performance. With the sup- port of a 400MHz front side bus, the MIC-3358 can fulfill customer’s expectations of price-performance computing capability.

Compact Mechanical Design

The MIC-3358 has many functions on a single board with only one-slot width. Advantech provides a CPU heat sink specially designed for the Intel® Pentium®4 processor -M, enabling the MIC-3358 to operate with- out a cooling fan on the heat sink. It only needs external cooling air from the chassis fans for ventilation. This enables the MIC-3358 to use Intel® Pentium®4 processor - M within a mere 1-slot wide space.

Single P2P Bridge

The MIC-3358 with single PCI-to-PCI Bridge is applicable up to 8-slot enclosure and drive up to seven bus master PCI slots in master mode. Fur- thermore, it supports master and drone modes. The MIC-3358 can also operate in drone mode in a peripheral slot, whereby it functions as a stand-alone computer and does not communicate on the CompactPCI® bus.
