Product Information • SCX-PCIE • Secondary Backplane Controller

General

The SCX-PCIE is a mezzanine side card for EKF

CPU boards, equipped with a PCIe® Gen3

packet switch, on-board NVMe and SATA mass

storage, and high speed front I/O.

The PCI Express® switch supports a secondary

CompactPCI® Serial backplane with up to eight

peripheral slots, four links organized as Gen3

x4, thereby expanding a CompactPCI® Serial

system from 8 to 16 peripheral card slots in

total.

The SCX-PCIE is suitable for EKF CPU carrier

cards such as the SC4-CONCERTO or

SC5-FESTIVAL, which are equipped with two

HSE (high speed expansion) mezzanine

connectors, for eight PCIe® Gen3 lanes.

The CPU carrier board and SCX-PCIE side card

assembly requires 8HP front panel width

together, and must be inserted into the

particular system slots of two adjacent

backplanes. While the CPU card fits into a

CompactPCI® Serial backplane which has its

system slot right aligned, the SCX-PCIE meets

the left aligned

system

slot

the

neighbouring secondary backplane.

As a mass storage solution, the SCX-PCIE is

provided with an M.2 socket for an NVMe

(PCIe®) or SATA SSD module. Another socket

is suitable for either a PCIe® Mini Card, or

mSATA SSD. Furthermore, the SCX-PCIE is

equipped with three GbE and three USB 3.0

ports for front I/O.
