CPU Card Description
•
Performs primary-secondary CPU arbitration. In a system with redundant CPU cards, the
two CPU cards communicate their status to each other. If the primary CPU card fails, the
redundant card takes over and becomes the primary.
•
Enables Ethernet connection for remote management, configuration and downloading of
host code via a 10baseT Ethernet port.

Installing the CPU-7 XCON with Ethernet Port Card
Install the CPU-7 XCON with Ethernet Port card into slot C1 of the system chassis. Install
another identical CPU card into slot C2. The card in slot C1 will be the primary, and the card
in slot C2 will be the secondary. This CPU makes use of an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate
