Introduction
Advantech’s MIC-5333 is a 40G dual processor ATCA blade based on the Intel
®
platform for communications infrastructure, formerly codenamed "Crystal Forest". It enables the
highest network and packet processing performance available in ATCA form factor with up to 16 cores and 32 threads of processing power, scalable offload based on Intel
®
QuickAssist
technology and support for up to four 40G fabric ports. Fast PCI Express gen. 3 technology running at up to 8Gbps per lane and best in class virtualization support combined with
superior thermal design make it ideal for high performance applications and workload consolidation on Intel
®
architecture.
Two QPI interfaces between the CPUs improve memory and I/O access throughput and latencies when one processor needs to access resources hosted by the other socket. With
four DDR3 DIMMs per socket in a quad channel design running up to 1600MT/s, the MIC-5333 not only offers superior memory bandwidth over 3-channel designs, but can also
support memory densities up 256GB using latest LR DIMM technology. It outperforms previous generation dual socket designs while keeping similar thermal characteristics with
balanced airflow resistance.
Fabric connectivity is implemented using up to two FMM type I sites, each site connecting to two backplane fabric channels. This allows the MIC-5333 to scale from legacy 10GE to
high speed 40GE network interfaces as well as optional dual dual star support for the most demanding applications in high end data and enterprise networking utilizing 4 hub blades
per system. A variety of standard FMMs can be used to implement 10GBaseKX4,multiple 10GBaseKR & 40GBaseKR4 interfaces. Beyond that, a Fabric Mezzanine Module type II
socket with PCIe x8 connectivity provides extension possibilities for additional front port I/O, offload and acceleration controllers such as the Intel
®
Communications Chipset 89xx
Series, IPSec offload engines or customer specific logic. FMMs have higher PCI Express bandwidth than AMCs, and integrate better in terms of thermal design, cost and board real
estate. Moreover, FMMs can be reused on RTMs and across different blade designs. This unmatched flexibility combined with the highest performance Intel
®
Xeons available make
the MIC-5333 equally well suited for application and data plane workloads.
The onboard IPMI firmware based on Advantech’s IPMI core offer greater modularity and flexibility for the customization of system management features, and provides the framework
for added value features enhancing Reliability, Availability, Serviceability, Usability and Manageability (RASUM) of the product. HPM.1 based updates are available for all programmable
components (BIOS, BIOS Settings, IPMC firmware, FPGA) including rollback support. Advantech’s IPMI solution, combined with an optimized UEFI BIOS continues to offer advanced
features used on previous generation MIC-532x blades, such as Dynamic Power Budgeting, BIOS redundancy, Real Time Clock Synchronization, CMOS Backup, CMOS Override and
MAC Mirroring. Advantech IPMI firmware has been tested for CP-TA compliance using the Polaris Networks ATCA Test Suite and against a variety of AdvancedTCA shelf management
solutions.
The MIC-5333 connects 36 PCIe gen.3 lanes to the zone 3 interface for a maximum of IO bandwidth to hot-swappable RTMs such as the RTM-5104, supporting rear I/O connectivity
and an optional FMM (Fabric Mezzanine Module). Please contact Advantech for more information on available RTMs. On-board FPGA design facilitates customer-specific modifications
and the core board design can be modified or adapted to other form factors through Advantech’s DMS customization services.
