NAT-AMC-COMex

The NAT-AMC-COMex is an COMExpress (COMex) carrier board in double full-size AMC form factor. As the name implies, a COMExpress module is a Computer-on-Module, which means, it concentrates the core functionality of an x86 processing system on one single PCB. This includes CPU and memory functionality, graphics, and the most common interfaces. For storage demands, the carrier owns a M.2 PCIe x4 interface, which offers various options to connect an SSD, FLASH memory, and an optional M.2 graphics interface.

Different types of COMExpress modules have been designed for different applications. Thus, the choice of the type determines the application field of the NAT-AMC-COMex. So the carrier board can work as a general purpose processor AMC (PrAMC), storage, or graphics solution if combined with the appropriate COMExpress module.

The NAT-AMC-COMex supports any COMex module Type7 validated by NAT. It offers PCIe Gen4 x8 at ports 4-11 and 12-20 at the backplane. Moreover, it provides 2x 10G Ethernet via port0/1, 2x 25G Ethernet via SFP28 front uplink, and a 1G Ethernet link via RJ45 at the front panel.

One M.2 PCIe x4 interface is intended for mounting a memory device, a second one can be equipped with a graphic card. If so, the board provides an HDMI interface at the front panel.

Thus, the NAT-AMC-COMex offers a wide range of setups from well-priced to high-performing configurations.
