The XIt1082 is a 3U VPX Rear Transition Module (RTM), which supports I/O breakout from select X-ES Intel® Xeon® D 3U VPX SBCs. When installed in an RTM slot of an appropriate 3U VPX backplane, the XIt1082 routes I/O signals from an associated SBC’s rear panel P0-P2 connectors through the VPX backplane to connectors on the XIt1082 to allow connection of these signals to external equipment. The XIt1082 routes four 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports to RJ-45 connectors, four RS-232/422/485 ports to micro-DB-9 connectors, two USB 2.0 ports to USB Type A connectors, and four SATA ports (two via mSATA connectors). A XIM site is also provided for breakout of the mezzanine’s P16 I/O to the XIt1082’s front panel via the appropriate XIM.
One dataplane breakout site connects two x4 Fat Pipes from the P1 and P2 connector to breakout modules that convert the signals to standard connectors. This facilitates rapid prototyping of complex system topologies using standard, off-the-shelf equipment.
