System Expansion Capabilities

1.3.1 PMC Modules
The CP6500-V has one PCI, 32-bit/33 MHz, 3.3 V or 5 V, rear I/O capable, PMC mezzanine
interface. This interface supports a wide range of available PMC modules with PCI interface
including all of Kontron's PMC modules and provides an easy and flexible way to configure the
CP6500-V for various application requirements.
1.3.2 CP-CTM80-2 Rear I/O Module
The CP-CTM80-2 rear I/O module has been designed for use with the CP6500-V 6U
CompactPCI board from Kontron Modular Computers. This module provides comprehensive
rear I/O functionality and may also be configured for use in other applications.
Note ...
The CP-CTM80-2 rear I/O module provides only USB 1.1 ports.
For further information concerning the CP-CTM80-2 module, please refer to Appendix A.

System Relevant Information

The following system relevant information is general in nature but should still be considered
when developing applications using the CP6500-V.

Operating Systems
Page 1 - 6
The CP6500-V is designed for use as a System Master board whereby it can
support up to 7 peripheral boards with 32-bit / 33 MHz.
It may, however, be operated in a peripheral slot in which case it does not
support the CompactPCI bus interface.
When installed in a peripheral slot, the CP6500-V is electrically isolated from
the CompactPCI bus. It receives power from the backplane and supports rear
I/O and, if the system supports it, packet switching (in this case up to two
channels of Fast Ethernet).
When operated as a System Master, the CP6500-V supports individual
clocks for each slot and ENUM signal handling is in compliance with the
PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap Specification.
When operated in a peripheral slot the CP6500-V supports basic hot swap.
The CP6500-V can be operated under the following operating systems:
• Microsoft Windows 2000
• Microsoft Windows XP
• Microsoft Windows XP Embedded
• Linux
• VxWorks
Please contact Kontron Modular Computers for further information concern-
ing other operating systems.
