Powerful 19-inch industrial computer with PICMG 1.3 slot CPU and Intel® QM57 chipset

Munich, December 2011 – DSM Computer has added three powerful variants to its 19-inch Infinity® computer family, based on DSM‘s new PICMG 1.3 industry slot CPU 96M4371o. The compact plugin card incorporates an Intel® Core™ processor and the energy-saving Intel® QM57 mobile chipset. The robust 4 U and 2 U industrial PCs are housed in a solid, high-quality rack and lend themselves to being fitted in 19-inch cabinets. 

The 4 U 96M1574 and 96M15801 Infinity® systems come with 12 free slots. The 510 mm deep model 96M1574 is designed for eight long and six short plugin cards, the 96M15801 system has a depth of only 455 mm. In total the 19-inch IPCs offer four 5.25-inch drive bays and a 3.5-inch bay. A SATA removable frame, for example for three drives, can be incorporated upon request. The drive cage is vibration protected. The slot CPU incorporates a controller for connecting four SATA II 300 devices with RAID 0, 1, 0+1 and 5 support.  

The Infinity® computer 96M1584E has a height of 2 U. Its six free slots are designed for up to three long and two short cards. A 3.5-inch bay is available in addition to a 5.25-inch drive bay. 

An internal mini PCI Express™ slot is available for expanding the industrial PCs. In accordance with the PICMG 1.3 standard, a number of PCI Express™ x16, PCI Express™ x1 and PCI-interfaces are available depending on the model in question. 

The heart of the modular 19-inch computers is the industrial slot CPU 96M4371o based on the Intel® QM57 mobile chipset. The compact plugin card can for example be fitted with a 2.66 GHz Intel® Core™ i7-620M processor. The processor features two CPU cores and 4 MB cache. The powerful slot CPU offers two DIMM slots for fast DDR 1066/800 memory modules. Both the on-board LAN Controllers Intel® 82577LM and Intel® L82583V support 10/100/1000 Base-T/TX and Intel® AMT 6.0 for remote maintenance. 

Upon request, all three Infinity® industrial computers can be delivered with DC power supply unit (12V / 24V / 48V). One or more fans for cooling the IPCs are accommodated behind a replaceable dust filter. Operating costs, especially in 24/7 operation, are optimised thanks to the mobile platforms’ low power consumption.

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.
