Introduction
The Intel
NetStructure
TM
ZT 5090 4U General
Purpose Packet Switched Platform is one of
several telecom building blocks from Intel,
providing OEM equipment designers with
standards-based development solutions built
on the PICMG* 2.16 specification. This high-
density CompactPCI* platform features seven
node slots and one integrated layer 2/3 Ethernet
switch slot, transversely mounted in a 4U
enclosure, making it ideal for carrier-grade
telecom and Internet applications. The ZT 5090
platform is modular, scalable, and ready for
immediate development. It is designed to
interoperate with third-party components
meeting the PICMG 2.16 specification.
Hot-swappable system components provide
built-in redundancy to simplify replacement and
minimize service time. A chassis management
module enables customers to manage multiple
SBCs and conduct chassis diagnostics remotely
for enhanced system reliability. The ZT 5090
platform routes signals across the backplane
without the use of cables, saving time in set-up,
maintenance and repair, and reducing the
thermal challenges of traditional cabling methods.

Chassis Management Module
The Intel
NetStructure
TM
ZT 7102 Chassis
Management Module, designed to IPMI 1.0
standards, monitors complete system status,
including sensors, fans, temperature and voltage.
It communicates using an IPMB bus in a unique
star topology to achieve comprehensive, lights-
out management. An out-of-band 10/100
Ethernet port dedicates a network exclusively
for management, thus avoiding impact to traffic
on the primary network. (Please reference

Product Brief
Ethernet Switch Board
The ZT 5090 platform supports a switched fabric board designed
to the PICMG 2.16 standard such as the Intel
NetStructure
TM
ZT
8101 Ethernet (Layer 2-4) Switch. This high-performance
Managed Layer 2/3 switch features 24 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
ports and two 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports for fast connection
speeds. (Please reference additional information at
intel.com/design/network/products/cbp/zt8101.htm)
Specifications
PICMG 2.16 Specification
The PICMG 2.16 specification simplifies system development
by using standards-based modules. All slots are served by
redundant fabric connections, allowing for system failover in the
event of a fabric failure. Backplane interconnect speeds are user-
definable, scalable from 10 Mbps to 2000 Mbps per node slot,
allowing customers to start with a lower cost, lower speed set of
components and upgrade as needed. Ideal applications include
Web servers, e-mail servers, cache servers, VPN switchers,
media gateways, 2.5G and 3G wireless, server clusters, IP
DSLAM and voice/video/data servers.
The ZT 5090 platform is designed with the following standards:
I
CompactPCI Core Specification, PICMG 2.0 R2.1
I
CompactPCI Hot Swap, PICMG 2.1 R2.0
I
CompactPCI Computer Telephony, PICMG 2.5 R1.0
