AUGSBURG, Germany – Kontron in Augsburg, Germany, is introducing the VX305C-40G 3U OpenVPX single-board computer module for military server-class computing and digital signal processing (DSP).

The ITAR-free VX305C-40G is an OpenVPX computer board that marries a 40 Gigabit Ethernet port and user I/O to the 12-core version of the Intel Xeon D processor

Designed to the soon-to-be-released VITA 65 slot profile SLT3-PAY-1F1F2U1TU1T1U1T-14.2.16 I/O Intensive computer board profile, the VX305C-40G combines the 12-core Intel Xeon D-1559 processor with a 40 Gigabit Ethernet data plane.

This combination makes this single-board computer suitable for virtual machine or containerized architectures that can take advantage of isolated workloads configured to share common resources dynamically.

The Kontron VX305C-40G offers four-lane PCI Express 3.0 expansion plane, USB generation 2 and 3, HDMI video, SATA 3, TIA-232 and TIA-422 serial ports, GPIO, an M.2 site, and an XMC site with a wide backplane signal map.

Other features include a VITA 46.11-compatible intelligent platform management controller (IPMC) to provide system-wide health management, sequenced system power-up, and temperature/power/performance management.

The signal processing board also has a power-on built-in test (PBIT) for board and system diagnosis, NS CMON, a lightweight, user-configurable continuous system monitoring tool. For more information contact Kontron online at www.kontron.com.
