LF-PCI-760

Kontron LF-PCI-760 Full-Size PICMG 1.3 System Host Board

The Kontron LF-PCI-760 is a full-size PICMG 1.3 System Host Board (SHB) designed for industrial, embedded and long-life computing systems. Based on the Intel Q35 platform, the LF-PCI-760 supports selected Intel LGA775 processors and combines DDR2 memory, integrated graphics, PCI Express expansion, SATA storage, Gigabit Ethernet, USB and industrial system-management features.

The backplane-based PICMG 1.3 architecture makes the LF-PCI-760 particularly suitable for industrial computers requiring multiple PCI Express and PCI expansion cards while allowing the processor board to be serviced or replaced independently of the system backplane.

Intel Q35 and LGA775 Platform

The Kontron LF-PCI-760 uses the Intel Q35 platform and an LGA775 processor socket. Depending on the exact board and system configuration, the platform can be configured with selected Intel Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad processors.

Because LF-PCI-760 boards were supplied in different system configurations, the processor installed on a particular board should be verified from the physical unit or system documentation rather than inferred from the LF-PCI-760 model number alone.

DDR2 Memory

Four DIMM sockets provide dual-channel DDR2 memory support with configurations up to 8 GB. Actual supported memory speed depends on the installed processor, DIMMs and BIOS configuration.

PICMG 1.3 Expansion Architecture

The LF-PCI-760 uses the PICMG 1.3 System Host Board architecture. PCI Express connectivity is routed through the board's edge connectors to a compatible PICMG 1.3 backplane, allowing the system to accommodate PCI Express and PCI expansion devices according to the backplane configuration.

This architecture is particularly useful for industrial systems containing specialized data acquisition, machine-control, communications, imaging or other expansion cards that must remain installed while the processor board is serviced or replaced.

Storage, Networking and I/O

The LF-PCI-760 platform provides SATA storage, Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, serial connectivity and integrated graphics for industrial system integration. The exact connector and I/O configuration should be verified against the specific LF-PCI-760 assembly and hardware revision.

Industrial Applications

The Kontron LF-PCI-760 is suitable for industrial automation, machine control, manufacturing equipment, test and measurement systems, data acquisition, medical equipment, communications systems, simulation platforms and other long-life embedded computing applications requiring a PICMG 1.3 System Host Board.

Replacement Considerations

When replacing a Kontron LF-PCI-760, verify the complete assembly number, hardware revision, installed processor, memory configuration and PICMG 1.3 backplane. Known LF-PCI-760 assemblies and system configurations may use different processor and hardware configurations.

For validated industrial equipment, matching the original LF-PCI-760 assembly and revision is preferable to selecting a replacement based only on the PCI-760 family name.

Replacement, Repair and Availability

Embedded CPU Boards supports the Kontron LF-PCI-760 for sourcing, replacement, repair, testing and legacy-system lifecycle support. Availability may include new-old-stock, surplus, refurbished or professionally tested units depending on current inventory.
