CHIPSET
The TML's Intel® 945G chipset combines advanced video and graphics
capabilities with high-bandwidth interfaces such as a dual-channel
DDR2-667, PCI Express x16 graphics port and PCI Express x4 and x1 links
to a PICMG 1.3 backplane. An Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller Hub provides
eight USB 2.0 and four SATA/300 ports. The ICH7R's SATA controller
supports independent DMA, Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI) and
integrated RAID level 0, 1, 5 and 10 functionality. The I/O Controller
Hub's LPC interface is routed to the board's controlled impedance
connector and supports an optional I/O expansion board (Chassis Plans'
IOB30) for legacy I/O and serial port communications. A x1 PCI Express
(PCIe) link is also routed from the ICH7R to the controlled impedance
connector to provide an additional x1 PCIe link to a PICMG 1.3
backplane when using Chassis Plans' IOB31 board. Communications between the
Intel® 945G Memory Controller Hub and the Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller
Hub occurs over Direct Media Interface (DMI) at a data transfer rate of
10Gb/s in each direction.
ETHERNET INTERFACES
The TML uses an internal x1 PCI Express link to connect the I/O
Controller hub to a dual-port Gigabit Ethernet (Intel® 82571EB)
controller chip. This design feature enables dual 10/100/1000Base-T
Ethernet interfaces on LAN 1 and LAN2. The LAN ports on the TML have
RJ-45 connectors on the I/O bracket to provide the mechanical
interfaces to the Ethernet networks. The ICH7R's internal LAN
Interconnect Interface (LCI) connected to the Intel® 82562G1 Ethernet
controller chip to provide an additional 10/100Base-T Ethernet
interface for use on PICMG® 1.3 backplanes via the SHB's edge connector
C.
FOUR SERIAL ATA/300 PORTS
The primary and secondary Serial ATA (SATA) ports on the TML board
support four independent SATA storage devices such as hard disks and
CD-RW devices. SATA produces higher performance interfacing by
providing data transfer rates up to 300MB per second on each port. The
TML's ICH7R I/O Controller hub features Intel® Matrix Storage
Technology, which allows the ICH7R's SATA controller to be configured
as a RAID controller supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 implementations.
CACHE MEMORY (L2 AND L1)
The Intel® Core; Duo Processor and the Intel® Core; Solo Processor has
a level two (L2) cache memory integrated on-die with Advanced Transfer
Cache memory that is 8-way set associative with ECC and runs at the
full processor core frequency. The L2 cache memory size on both types
of processor is 2MB. The L2 cache is shared between the two cores of
the Intel® Core; Duo Processor.
The Intel® Core; Duo Processor has two 32KB L1 cache memories and the Intel® Core; Solo Processor has single 32KB L1 cache.
The Intel® Celeron® M processors feature a 1MB level two (L2) cache memory and a 32KB L1 cache.
All processor options supported on the TML have a 16KB level one (L1) data cache.
DDR2-667 MEMORY
The DDR2-667 memory interface is a dual-channel interface originating
at the Memory Controller Hub, with each channel terminating at a DIMM
module socket. The TML supports system memory transfer rates of either
400, 533 or 667MHz using unbuffered, non-ECC, Pc2-3200, PC2-4200 or
PC2-5300 DIMMs. Maximum memory capacity is 4GB. When using a single
PC2-5300 DIMM, the memory interface bandwidth is 5.4GB/s and using two
DIMMs with equal memory capacities increases the peak memory bandwidth
to 10.7GB/s. To maximize system performance and reliability Chassis Plans'
recommends using DIMMs that support the Serial Presence Detect (SPD)
data structure.
MEMORY DIMM SLOT POPULATION
Chassis Plans' TML supports two types of memory operations:
Interleaved Mode - This is the mode of operation that enables the
highest memory interface speed and bandwidth throughput capability.
Often times this mode of operation is referred to as "dual-channel
mode";. Interleaved mode occurs when using two DIMM modules with equal
memory capacities. The DIMM technology and device width can vary but
the installed memory capacity for each channel must be equal. If
different speed DIMMs are used in each channel then the slowest DIMM
will determine the memory interface speed.
Asymmetric Mode - From a system operational standpoint, asymmetric mode
functions as a "single-channel"; memory interface. Asymmetric mode
occurs when using either a single DIMM module or two DIMM modules with
unequal memory capacities The DIMM technology and device width can vary
in each channel and if different speed DIMMs are used in each channel
then the slowest DIMM will determine the memory interface speed.
NOTE: Double-sided DIMMS with a x16 organization are not supported.

IOB31 EXPANSION BOARD (OPTIONAL)
The IOB31 supports all of the
same I/O functions as the IOB30
using cable header connectors. There is no I/O plate on
the IOB31. The IOB31 also provides a x4 PCI Express edge
connector designed to fit into a PCI Express expansion
slot on a PICMG 1.3 backplane. When used on the TML system
host board, the IOB31 provides an extra x1 PCI Express
link to the backplane.

PCI EXPRESS; INTERFACES
Chassis Plans' TML graphics-class system host board provides one x16 PCI Express link on the SHB's edge connectors A and B.
This x16 PCIe link is designed to support PCI Express video/graphics cards on an SHB Express; (PICMG 1.3) backplane.
A x4 PCI Express link and five PCI Express reference clocks are also included on edge connectors A and B.
An additional x1 PCI Express link between the TML and backplane can be
provided by Chassis Plans' optional IOB31 I/O Expansion Module.
The x4 and x1 PCI Express links are used on SHB Express backplanes to
support PCI Express option cards and the bridge chips that provide
PCI/PCI-X option card support.
During system initialization the TML automatically negotiates with the
PCI Express cards connected to the PCI Express links in order to set up
communication between the devices.
The net result is that the TML system host board supports communication
to x1, x4, x8 and x16 PCI Express boards as well as PCI/PCI-X cards via
PCI Express-to-PCI/PCI-X bridge chip technology.
The TML also provides a 32-bit/33MHz PCI bus interface on edge connector D.

- A x16 PCI Express graphics port that provides 3.5 times more bandwidth than an AGP 8X interface
- ADD2 video and graphic cards
IOB30 EXPANSION BOARD (OPTIONAL)
This optional board provides legacy I/O connections via
the Super I/O controller (LPC47B272). The IOB30's
I/O controller connects to the TML's LPC Bus via
the board's controlled impedance connector. The
following I/O interfaces are supported by the TML via
either the IOB30 or
IOB31
-
SERIAL INTERFACE
The Super I/O controller supports two full-function
serial ports with independently programmable baud
rates. The controller has two high-speed, NS16C550
compatible UARTs with Send/Receive 16-byte FIFOs.
The IRQ for each serial port has BIOS selectable
addressing.
-
FLOPPY DRIVE INTERFACE
The IOB30 supports up to two floppy disk drives in
combinations of 360K to 2.88MB
-
KB AND PS/2 MOUSE INTERFACES
The mini DIN connector located on the I/O bracket
provides an external interface for a PS/2 mouse and
keyboard. A "Y" adapter plugged into the mini DIN
connector allows the PS/2 mouse and keyboard to
share the same port. Internal PS/2 mouse and
keyboard headers are also available. A self-resetting
fuse protects the +5V line of the keyboard and the mouse.
-
PARALLEL INTERFACE
The parallel port interface is compatible with IBM
PC/XT®, PC/AT®, PS/2TM, Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP1.7, EPP1.9) and Extended Capabilities Port
(ECP) modes of operation. Both the EPP and ECP
modes are IEEE 1284 compliant. The parallel port has
BIOS selectable addressing.
Operating systems exhibit certain boot-up behaviors in regards to
the handling of keyboard controller functions that may
necessitate the addition of the IOB30 or IOB31 to the
TML
The operating systems that Chassis Plans' has tested that do not require the IOB30 or IOB31 are:
Microsoft® Windows® 2000
Microsoft® Windows® XP
Microsoft® Windows® 2003 Server
Microsoft® Windows® NT 4.0
RedHat Linux 9.0
Fedora Core 2.0
SUSE Linux 9.0
The operating systems that Chassis Plans' has tested that require the IOB30 or
IOB31 in order to provide required PS/2 keyboard functions are:
Unixware® 7.11
Sun® Solaris; 9.0
SCO ODT 5.05
TEMPERATURE/ENVIRONMENT
| Operating Temperature: |
0° to 60° C. |
| Airflow Requirement: |
200LFM continuous airflow when using the passive heat sink |
| Storage Temperature: |
-40° to 70° C. |
| Humidity: |
5% to 90% non-condensing |
PASSIVE COOLING SOLUTION:
The TML has a board stack-up height of .76"; (1.93cm) with the SHB's
passive heat sink cooling solution. There are no cooling fans needed on
the TML system host board to achieve the 0° to 60° C operating
temperature range. However, adequate airflow of at least 200LFM must
always be present across the SHB's passive heat sink. Failure to
provide adequate airflow will cause unexpected SHB shut downs that may
eventually result in damaging the processor.
ACTIVE COOLING SOLUTION:
The TML's optional active cooling solution has a cooling fan mounted on
the passive heat sink resulting in a board stack-up height of 1.16";
(2.95cm). Order the TML's active cooling option when 200LFM or more of
continuous airflow is not available for the processor. Chassis designs
that provide airflow and adequate venting are recommended.
MECHANICAL In a
typical backplane, the TML's passive cooling solution enables placement
of option cards approximately .78"; (1.98cm) away from the top component
side of the SHB. The optional active cooling solution requires the
placement of option cards more than 1.18"; (3.00cm) away from the SHB.
The TML's overall dimensions are 13.330"; (33.858cm) L x 4.976";
(12.639cm) H. The relative PICMG 1.3 SHB height off the backplane is
the same as a PICMG 1.0 SBC due to the shorter PCI Express backplane
connectors.
