Axiomtek announced a \u201cCEM700\u201d COM Express Type 7 Basic module with 5th Gen Intel Xeon or Pentium CPUs, 2x 10GBASE-KR, 2x SATA III, plenty of PCIe, extended temperature support, and a new Type 7 carrier board.<\/p>\nAxiomtek announced a \u201cCEM700\u201d COM Express Type 7 Basic module with 5th Gen Intel Xeon or Pentium CPUs, 2x 10GBASE-KR, 2x SATA III, plenty of PCIe, extended temperature support, and a new Type 7 carrier board.<\/p>\n
The CEM700, which follows earlier Axiomtek COM Express modules such as the Intel Skylake based CEM501<\/a>, is the company\u2019s first COM Express Type 7<\/a> module. Axiomtek is starting its Type 7 adventure with a choice of a server-class, 16-core Xeon D-1500 and quad-core Pentium D1519 processors from Intel\u2019s 5th Generation \u201cBroadwell-DE\u201d family, led by the 16-core, 1.3\/2.1GHz Xeon D-1577 and quad-core, 1.5\/2.1GH Pentium D1519. No OS support is listed, but Linux is a given with headless Type 7 modules.<\/p>\n CEM700, front and back<\/b><\/p>\n Designed for edge computing, microserver, data transmission, and other networking applications, the 125 x 95mm module ships standard with 0 to 60\u00b0C or -20 to 70\u00b0C support, depending on whether you believe the product page or announcement, and there\u2019s an option for a -40 to 85\u00b0C model. There\u2019s also 3.5 Grms vibration resistance and an optional heatpipe cooler and heatspreader.<\/p>\n The CEM700 provides dual DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM slots for up to 32GB RAM plus dual SATA III interfaces for storage. The module features dual 10GBASE-KR interfaces, a single GbE controller, and an NC-SI (Network Controller Sideband Interface) for remote management.<\/p>\n I\/O includes 4x USB 3.0, 4x USB 2.0, and 2x serial TX\/RX interfaces. You also get single LPC, SMBus, SPI, and I2C interfaces plus 4-in, 4-out DIO.<\/p>\n Expansion interfaces include single PCIe x16 Gen3 and PCIe x8 Gen3 interfaces, as well as 8x PCIe x1 Gen2. Other features include a watchdog timer, hardware monitoring, and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0. There are 12V AT and ATX inputs, with the latter also spec\u2019d at +5VSB.<\/p>\n CEB94701 carrier<\/b><\/p>\n The CEM700 is available with a new Type 7 development baseboard called the CEB94701. The 305 x 244mm board offers dual SATA III interfaces, dual 10GBASE-KR SFP+ ports, and a single GbE port.<\/p>\n CEB94701 detail view<\/b><\/p>\n The CEB94701 is further equipped with 4x USB 3.0 ports, 2x RS-232\/422\/485 ports, and 2x TX\/RX headers. You\u2019ll find the I2C, DIO, SMBus, fan, and front-panel interfaces aligned along the edge of the board along with a BMC console port and VGA port. A buzzer, and hardware monitoring are also available.<\/p>\n The dev board carries through the PCIe x16 and PCIe x8 (both Gen3) interfaces and offers PCIe x4 and x1 connections. There are also 2x full-size mini-PCIe slots.<\/p>\n The board is powered via a 24-pin ATX connector as well as a 4-pin 12V connector to power the module. A 3V, 220mAH Lithium battery is also onboard. The board supports -20 to 70\u00b0C temperatures.<\/p>\n Further information<\/b><\/p>\n The CEM700 and CEB94701 Type 7 carrier are \u201ccoming soon,\u201d with pricing undisclosed. More information may be found on Axiomtek\u2019s CEM700<\/a> and CEB94701 (PDF)<\/a> product pages.<\/p>\n![](\"http:\/\/linuxgizmos.com\/files\/axiomtek_cem700-sm.jpg\")
