Based on the AMCC PowerPC 440GX Embedded Processor, XChange1100 is armed with the processing power needed for demanding applications. With integrated PCI-X, DDR SDRAM, and Ethernet interfaces, the 440GX offers a highly optimized yet cost effective solution for packet processing and general computing. The serial and ethernet interfaces are accessible through the front panel. The SO-DIMM DDR SDRAM memory slot allows memory upgrades to be done in the field.
Hot Swap support allows XChange1100 to be installed into a live system without disrupting CompactPCI bus activity. In addition, system management bus support allows the card to be powered down and reset remotely through the IPMI interface.
