Introduction The cPCI-6841 is a 6U CompactPCI single board computer based on the Intel® Pentium® M processor and 855GME/ICH4 chipset. The Pentium® M processor’s operating frequency ranges from 1.3GHz up to 2.0GHz and it comes with 1MB/2MB L2 cache in an FC-mPGA package.
1.1 Main Functions The following sections explain the main functions of the cPCI-6841. CPU Support The cPCI-6841 SBC is designed for the Intel® Pentium® M and Celeron® M Processors. The standard cPCI-6841 SBC comes μ with CPU socket which can be installed with FC-PGA2 package CPU, with the following options: Pentium®...
Gigabit Ethernet Ports The cPCI-6841 has two 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet (GbE) ports. Every port is assigned a unique static MAC Address. Two onboard Intel® 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet controllers provide two Ethernet ports and are implemented on a 32-bit/33 MHz PCI bus. The 82541GI supports IEEE 802.3x compliant flow control and IEEE 802.3ab compliant 10/100/1000 Mbps auto-negotiation.
Watchdog Timer The cPCI-6841 implements a watchdog timer (WDT) using the Winbond W83627HF Super I/O. The programmable I/O port is on address 2E, and the timer can be set for 1 to 255 seconds or 1 to 255 minutes. Easy-programming libraries for DOS and Windows 95/98/NT are included.

on the operational purpose of the board. The chassis power may now be turned on. 2. Remove the blank face panel from the slot. 3. Align the top and bottom edges of the board with the card guides on the chassis then slide the board into the chassis until resistance is felt.
Windows Driver Installation The following sections show the driver installation procedures for Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003. When installing the Windows drivers, we recommend the following steps: 1. Fully install the Windows properly before installing any driver. Most of the standard I/O devices’ driver will be installed during the standard Windows installation.
4.1 Chipset Drivers Installation 1. Ensure your Windows operating system is fully installed and running prior to executing the “Intel Chipset Soft- ware Installation Utility”. 2. Close any running applications. 3. The files are stored in an integrated application setup program.
4.3 LAN Driver Installation 1. Boot Windows 2000/XP/Windows Server 2003. 2. Run the pro2kxp.exe under the following directory: X:\cPCI\cPCI-6841\LAN. 3. Read the license agreement. Click 'I accept the terms in the license agreement’ if you agree to continue. 4. At the Location to Save Files prompt, click Next to save the files in the specified folder.
This section explains the operation of the cPCI-6841’s watchdog timer. The primary function of the watchdog timer is to monitor the cPCI-6841 Series SBC’s operation and to reset the system if the software fails to function as programmed. The watchdog timer can...
Once the watchdog has timed out, it will cause a RESET signal to be sent to the system. 5.2 Using the Watchdog in an Application The following section is provided to assist you in learning how to use the watchdog in an application. The watchdog’s Reset func- tion is as explained above.
5.3 Intel Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) The cPCI-6841 series supports Intel® Preboot Execution Environ- ment (PXE), which provides the capability to boot up or execute an OS installation through an Ethernet connection. There should be a DHCP server in the network with one or more servers running PXE and MTFTP services.
Appendix Serial Console User’s Guide 1. Introduction Most industrial implementations do not use a monitor or a key- board to interface between the user and the computer, instead connecting through a network or direct cable. ADLINK provides a function for users to obtain Power-On Self Test (POST) messages and execute commands using serial-port access.
Figure 6-1: Null Modem Connection 3. Seting up the Server The server used in this guide is a CPU board where the Award Preboot Agent is integrated into the BIOS. Use the BIOS setup utility to setup the Serial Console. When you turn on the computer, the Award BIOS is immediately activated.
Agent Connect Via This field is un-selectable. Only one connection mode is sup- ported: NULL. NULL means the connection cable is of null modem type. Agent wait time (min) This option selects the amount of time (in minutes) to wait for a successful connection.
