DSM Computer: 4-U Q57 industrial computer in a short 19-inch housing

Munich, July 2011 – DSM Computer’s 19-inch Infinity® 96M1595 industrial computer is based on a powerful industrial ATX mainboard with Intel® Q57 chipset. To provide high performance, it is equipped with an Intel® Core™ i7 quad-core processor or i5 dual-core processor and main memory that can be expanded to 16 GB. A particularly low-cost IPC variant is equipped with the dual-core Intel® Pentium™ CPU G6950. 

With a depth of only 408 mm, the robust 4-U system can also be installed in small switchgear cabinets. When installed in standard-depth switchgear cabinets, more space for the wiring is available behind the 19-inch IPC. A large-area air inlet ensures the optimum cooling of the computer. 

The industrial ATX mainboard used in the Infinity® 96M1595 is characterized by its high reliability. It is equipped with high-quality electrolyte capacitors designed for operation at higher temperatures and so ensure a long service life of the system. The ATX boards are available in an unchanged configuration for as long as five years. 

The industrial mainboard provides a wide choice of standard interfaces. In addition to the 14 USB 2.0 connections (six internal and eight external) and Dual GigaBit LAN, two PS/2 connections, VGA, DVI-D, audio, optional LPT and two COM (RS232) or optionally four COM (one RS232/RS422/RS485) are available. The board also has SATA interfaces for six SATA II 300 drives (RAID 0, 1, 0+1, 5 support), IDE for two enhanced IDE drives and one internal CompactFlash socket. 

A total of seven slots for short cards are available for system expansions: one PCI Express™ x16, one PCI Express™ x8 (four lanes), one PCI Express™ x1, four PCI slots and one ISA (shared with a PCI slot). The IPC provides two externally accessible 5.25 inch drive bays or, as an option, SATA removable frames, such as for four 2.5-inch drives. All operating elements and drives are protected behind a metal door. The power switch, the reset switch and two USB outputs are located on the front side.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
