Tailored for rugged environments, the MIC-6313 has a native conduction-cooled heat sink adaptable to various chassis environments; with the alternated optional air cooled heat sink, additional I/O is provided on the front panel. An onboard soldered, industrial SSD is included for maximum reliability, and a CFast/ SSD socket is also available for a cost-efficient, modular storage. By using Intel’s powerful PCH (Lynx Point) with its advanced SATA controller, the MIC-6313 offers high storage capacity at up to 6Gbps transfer speed. An onboard XMC site with PCIe x8 gen.3 connectivity can host high speed offload or I/O mezzanines. Two USB 3.0 ports on the front panel can connect to external devices with up to 5Gbps data rate. Network and remote connectivity can be achieved via a RS-232 console (RJ-45) and two GbE RJ-45 ports, powered by intel’s latest Gigabit Ethernet controller.
Intel’s next generation graphics engine Iris Pro offers up to 2x the graphic performance compared to previous generation solutions. Triple independent display support can be implemented by using the MIC-6313’s DVI front panel port and two DVI interfaces on rear transition modules. Audio is powered by a ALC892 controller via the backplane interface, and provides media support. Four SATA ports (SATAIII) and four USB ports (2x USB 3.0, 2x USB 3.0) are also connected to the backplane to fulfill the demand for extra IO ports or storage. Four GbE ports (two SERDES selectable) support system level IP connectivity, and four UART interfaces (RS232/422/485 selectable) can be leveraged to interface to legacy devices and consoles.
