Summary

The ADM-PCIE-9V3 is a half-length, low profile, PCI Express Add-In Card featuring the powerful and efficient AMD Virtex UltraScale Plus VU3P-2 FPGA.

It boasts a 16-lane PCIe Gen3 capable interface and front IO with 2x QSFP28 sockets, each supporting either one 100GbE or four 25GbE interfaces. Additionally, it features an onboard Ultraport SlimSAS Connector for OpenCAPI Connectivity.

Two 1G x 72 DDR4-2400 ECC memory banks provide 8GiB of onboard DDR4-2400 memory each (72 bits wide).

System monitoring of temperature, voltage, and current provides developers with accurate feedback on power utilization for their designs.

This card comes with low-profile and full-height front brackets, with the low-profile bracket fitted as standard. An optional blower is available for low air-flow systems.

Board Management

The ADM-PCIE-9V3 houses a system monitoring chip which can provide real-time temperature, voltage and current readings of the system, as well as reconfigure programmable clocks and much more. The system monitor can be accessed directly through the USB interface via the front panel, the UART connection to the target FPGA or through the SMBus interface on the card's PCI Express edge connector. When enabled**, IPMI can also be used to communicate with the system monitor, allowing for remote communication and management with the ADM-PCIE-9V3.

** IPMI is disabled by default and should only be enabled when the board is installed in an IPMI-compliant system. Please contact the factory for details on enabling IPMI on the ADM-PCIE-9V3.
