The NIPXIe-813 0 consists of the following logic blocks on the CPU
module and the I/O (daughter card) module. The CPU module has the
following logic blocks:
•Socket S1 CPU is the socket definition for the
AMD 2.3GH zTurion 64 X2 processor.
• The SO-DIMM block consists of two 64-bit DDR2 SDRAM sockets
that can hold up to 2 GB each.
• The CPU connects to the DDR2 SDRAM, and nVIDIA MCP55 Pro.
• The SMB to PXI Trigger provides a routable connection of the
PXI Express triggers to/from the SMB on the front panel.
• The ATI Radeon X300 Embedded GPU drives the graphics.
• The Watchdog Timer block consists of a watchdog timer that can reset
the controller or generate a trigger.
• The nVIDIA MCP55 Pro chipset connects to the PCI, USB, Serial
ATA, ExpressCard, PXI Express, and LPC buses.
• The USB Connectors connect the nVIDIA MCP55 Pro to the Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 interface.
• The Serial ATA Hard Disk is a 60 GB or larger notebook hard disk.1
The Serial ATA interface enables transfer rates up to 150 MB/s. The
hard disk also supports Native Command Queuing.
• The PXI Express Connector connects the NI PXIe-8130 to the
PXI Express/CompactPCI Express backplane.
• The Super I/O block represents the other peripherals supplied by the
NIPXIe-81 30. The NIPXIe-8130 has one serial port, and an ECP/EPP
parallel port.
• The Gigabit Enet PHY connects to either 10 Mbit, 100 Mbit, or
1,000 Mbit Ethernet interfaces.
• The GPIB block contains the GPIB interface.
• The ExpressCard/34 slot accommodates an ExpressCard/34 module.
1 The extended-temperature, 24/7 option controller provides a 40 GB PATA hard drive.
