Ethernet channels, and with six Gigabit Ethernet channels. The five-channel variant is fitted with an ATX power connector which enables the CP932 to be used as a standalone ap- plication. The six-channel variant is equipped with an additional Gigabit Ethernet channel which enables the network traffic to be effected via the CompactPCI interface.
• One five-port or eight-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, depending on the variant • One CompactPCI connector • One 4-pin ATX power connector to be used optionally as power source if the CP932 is used as a standalone application (only on the five-channel variant) •...

CP932 Functional Description Functional Description The following chapters present more detailed, board level information about the CP932 Gigabit Ethernet switch whereby the board components and their basic functionality are discussed in general. General Information The CP932 is comprised basically of the following: •...
On the Broadcom BCM5388 switch controller, the remaining four ports feature a standard RGMII interface to allow connection to the external 10/100/1000 Mbit/s PHY transceivers. The six-channel variant of the CP932 uses only two of the remaining four ports of the Broad- com BCM5388 switch controller.
Functional Description PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Integrated NIC) The six-channel variant of the CP932 provides one onboard NIC Gigabit Ethernet channel used with the Intel 82541PI PCI Gigabit Ethernet controller. This chip provides, on the one hand, a PCI interface communicating with the host over the CompactPCI backplane and, on the other hand, a ready-to-use Gigabit Ethernet channel on copper PHY level.
2.5.2 CompactPCI Interface The CP932 is equipped with one 2 mm x 2 mm pitch, 32-bit, female, CompactPCI connector, J1, with support for PCI bus signals, arbitration, clock and power. The CP932 is designed for a CompactPCI bus architecture. The CompactPCI standard is elec- trically identical to the PCI local bus.
The 4-pin ATX power connector is only available on the five-channel variant of the CP932 and is used for connecting the ATX power supply to the CP932. This connector may only be used if the CompactPCI connector, J1, is not connected to the power supply.
Installation Installation The CP932 has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precau- tions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper in- stallation and to preclude damage to the board or injury to personnel.
The following table specifies the ranges for the different input power voltages within which the board is functional. The CP932 is not guaranteed to function if the board is not operated within the prescribed limits. Table 5-2: DC Operational Input Voltage Ranges...
CP932 Power Supply Units Power supplies for the CP932 must be specified with enough reserve for the remaining system consumption. In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is recommended to provide more power than the system requires. An industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at least twice as much power as the entire system requires.
5.4.1 Voltage Ramp Power supplies must comply with the following guidelines, in order to be used with the CP932. • Beginning at 10% of the nominal output voltage, the voltage must rise within > 0.1 ms to < 20 ms to the specified regulation range of the voltage. Typically: >...
When a PSU of this type is used, it will not power up correctly and the CP932 may hang up. The solution is to use an industrial PSU or to add more load to the system.
