The BXT7059 single board computer from Trenton Systems is a dual-processor PICMG 1.3 SBC featuring the Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 v2 series processors and native support for PCI Express 3.0 I/O cards. The 22nm Intel® Micro-Architecture design of the Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 v2 series processors saves power while providing a performance boost over the previous generation Intel® Xeon® E5-2400 series processors built on a 32nm micro-architecture. This BXT7059 single board computer supports DDR3-1600 Mini-DIMMs with a maximum system memory capacity of up to 48GB and features SAS and SATA/600 ports, multiple I/O and communication interfaces including PCI Express 3.0. The SBC’s flexible I/O system design is driven by the PCIe 3.0 processor links and the Intel® C604 Platform Controller Hub (PCH). The external I/O card interfaces adapt to PCIe 3.0, PCIe 2.1/2.0 and PCIe 1.1 plug-in cards with either a x16, x8, x4 or x1 PCI Express edge connector. An additional PCI Express 3.0 x16 link expansion is available using the optional PEX10 module on the BXT7059 SBC.
