The HDB8237 HDEC Series Four Segment Backplane

In addition to the native x16 PCIe link for each HDB8237 backplane segment’s option card slot, the dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2680 v3 processors available on an HEP8225 HDEC Series system host board provides a combined 24-cores of processing capacity.  The combination of backplane segment features and system  integration capabilities enables innovative cluster computing designs for today’s demanding embedded computing, and data security applications in military computing, industrial automation, and medical diagnostics applications.

Key features of the HDB8237 HDEC Series Four Segment Backplane include:

  • A building block for four-in-one military computers, industrial automation and medical diagnostics solutions
  • Four total PCIe 3.0 option card slots available:
    • 1 – x16 PCI Express 3.0 electrical / x16 mech. connectors in each segment
  • Four total HDEC Series system host board slots available:
    • 1 – HDEC Series system host board slot in each segment
  • Numerous device I/O connections within each backplane segment simplifies system integration, and cable routing
    • 4 – SATA/600 connectors
    • 2 – USB3 interface header connections
    • 4 – Rear chassis USB2 interface ports
    • 1 – Rear chassis Serial port
    • 4 – System fan headers with built-in fan speed monitoring
  • Ideal large format backplane for supporting standard 5U rackmount computer chassis
  • Long life cycle with 7+ year backplane availability.
Trenton designs all of our HDEC Series system host boards and backplanes to fully support the PCI Express auto-training function that ensures SHB-to-option card communications regardless of PCI Express interface type or link width.  This SHB and backplane design feature maximizes system flexibility by enabling system support for standard PCIe 3.0, 2.0 or 1.1 option cards having various PCIe electrical interface link widths such as x16, x8, x4 and x1.

The HDB8237 HDEC Series Four Segment Backplane is designed and manufactured in the USA, and backed by our 5-year factory warranty.

 

Tech Specs

Model Number

HDB8237

Form Factor

HDEC Series large format backplane has four independent computing segments.  Each backplane segment supports a dual-processor HDEC Series SHB and a x16 PCI Express option card.  A cluster computing system built with the HDB8237 can support up to four independent SHB and PCI Express cards.  All card slots are designed for the Gen3 PCIe electrical interface and are equipped with x16 PCIe mechanical connectors.

Mechanical

Board dimensions: 16.4″/417mm x 12.9″/328mm
The nominal backplane thickness is 0.080”; however, the backplane mounting holes are recessed 0.018” on the bottom to provide an effective PCB thickness of 0.062” for use in the chassis design process.

Configuration

Four segment backplane with one x16 PCI Express card slot, and one HDEC Series system host board slot in each backplane segment
Each backplane segment’s PCIe slot is driven with a native PCIe 3.0 link direct from the processors on a compatible HDEC Series system host board; such as Trenton’s HEP8225, plugged into the segment’s SHB slot.
