M5000 Series: User Guide
Issued June 20, 2007
Product Overview
1.1 Main features:
• A PowerPC processor subsystem (440GX from IBM) with up to 256MiB local DDR-SDRAM
memory, 32MiB of FLASH memory, four Ethernet ports (two 10/100/1000Mbps and two 10/
100Mbps) and two serial ports.
• Two standard PPMC sites located on separate PCI segments (64-bit, 33/66MHz PCI, 66/100/
133MHz PCI-X). In addition, PMC#1 can be MONARCH
• Dual 2Gib Fibre Channel I/O Controller (ISP2312 from QLOGIC) (Optical)
• Single 10/100 Ethernet port (front panel connector)
• Dual serial ports configurable as two RS-232 ports or one RS-232 and one RS-422
• PCI-to-VME bridge (Universe IID from Tundra)
• Three PCI(X)-to-PCI(X) bridges which connects the different PCI(-X) segments together
(PCI6540 from PLX)
• Optional PCI-to-RACEway bridge (PXB++ from Mercury)
• Optional I/O Spacer extension via a built-in connector, thus adding up to 3 Ethernet ports (One
Fast Ethernet 10/100 SMII and two Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000 RGMII) and an I2C bus.
Note: Adding more than one Gigabit Ethernet port will reduce the number of Fibre Channel
ports
• Optional mezzanine extension via a built-in connector, thus adding 3 PMC sites to the
Quaternary PCI segment. These PMC sites are 64-bit, 33MHz PCI, 5V signaling.
• One PIM I/O board slot, in accordance to VITA36.
