Reverse engineering of any SBS product is strictly prohibited. In no event will SBS be liable for any lost revenue or profits or other special, indirect, incidental and consequential damage, even if SBS has been advised of the possibility of such damages, as a result of the usage of this document and the software that this document describes.
Any operational system with cables for I/O signals, connectivity or peripheral devices provides an entry point for ESD and EMI. If SBS does not manufacture the complete system, including enclosure and cables, it is the responsibility of the system integrator and end user to protect their system against potential problems.
RTM if a cable is attached and routed outside the enclosure. It has to be done at the physical entry point as specified above. Products manufactured by SBS Technologies should normally be suitable for use in properly designed and produced customer equipment (system boxes or operational systems) without any major redesign.

Chapter 6 lists details of function blocks. Chapter 7 outlines electrical, mechanical and environmental specifications. A number of expansion and add-on products are available for the CL9. The CL9-IO extension card and CTM15 transition modules as well as the TMDS3 and SBP4 modules are described in appendices to this manual.
20 °C (68 °F). Because of only marginal variations within a limited range of altitudes these products operate as specified within altitudes from sea level to 1000 m (3300 ft.). SBS Technologies can assist the user of these components in planning operation outside this altitude range upon request.
Support, Service and Warranty The manufacturer grants the original purchaser of SBS products a warranty of 24 months from the date of delivery. For details regarding this warranty refer to Terms & Conditions of the initial sale.
Extension boards can be connected via the CPCI interface. The minimized board size and the large number of interfaces and functions allow the CL9 to be used in many applications. See the following block diagram for the board design.
VGA at front I/O and/or rear I/O. DVO 12-bit interface available at on-board header connector. ith extension card DVI-D support possible. One front (two with CL9-IO) and two rear USB 2.0 ports, all legacy components (Keyboard, Mouse, Floppy connected via USB) Gigabit Ethernet...
Transfer rates up to 115.2 K baud with RS232 drivers to rear I/O and extension board CL9-IO. Audio The CL9 has an AC97 V2.2 compliant interface to the CL9-IO header. On the CL9-IO there are provisions to connect an audio CODEC via an extension card SPB4.
This chapter covers the suggested inspection and preparation considerations and background information necessary prior to using the CL9. Unpacking, initial inspection and first-time operation of the CL9 are covered. Following the procedures given in this chapter is recommended, since they will verify proper operation after shipping and before the product is integrated into your system.
The discharge of static electricity, known as Electro Static Discharge or ESD, is a major cause of electronic component failure. The CL9 has been packed in a static-safe bag which protects the board from ESD while the board is in the bag.
Keep all original packaging material for future storage or warranty shipments of the board. Although the CL9 is carefully packaged against the rigors of shipping, it is still possible that shipping damages can occur. Careful inspection of the shipping carton should reveal some information about how the package was handled by the shipping service.
Only after ensuring that both you and the surrounding area are protected from ESD, carefully remove the CL9 from the shipping carton by grasping it by the front panel and the connectors. Place the board, in its anti static bag, flat down on a suitable surface.
CHAPTER 3 Installation Chapter Scope This chapter covers the installation of the CL9 CompactPCI Single Board Computer in a CompactPCI backplane and initial power-on operations. Installation Use the following steps to install your SBS Technologies hardware. • Before installing or removing any board, please ensure that the system power and external supplies have been turned off.
CL9. Please refer to chapter ‘Specifications’ on page 61 for details. Initially, you have to plug the CL9 into your 3U system slot of your CPCI system. Please make sure that you do not have the power supply turned ON when the CL9 is plugged into your backplane.
Please see chapter ‘Interfaces’ for details on onboard interfaces. Initial Power-On Operation After a few seconds, the CL9 system BIOS banner will appear on the monitor and the front LED stop blinking and switch to green. If you have seen all the messages so far, you can be confident that the board is running properly and is ready to be installed and setup for your application.
** I/O bus must be able to write / read from the video subsystem and be able to read all video RAM. If the computer does not pass any of the above tests, the CL9 will receive an irregular POST. An irregular POST is a beep code which is different from the standard situation which can be either no beeps at all or a combination of different beeps indicating what is causing the computer not to past the POST.
Interfaces Chapter Scope This chapter describes the interfaces of the CL9 CompactPCI Single Board Computer located on the board and on the front panel. Each section on a particular interface includes a graphics illustration of the connector and a pin assignment table as well as notes on certain signal line characteristics, if necessary.

64 bits, this is equivalent to the PC2700 specification. One or two banks are provided by the CL9 with a size of either 256 MByte or 512 MByte this results in a minimum memory size of 256 MByte (one bank) or a maximum size of 1 GByte (two banks with 512 MByte).
‘Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub’ datasheet. Timer Standard PCs like the CL9 are equipped with an 8254 compatible timer. This timer contains three counters. Each counter output provides a key system function. Counter 0 is connected to interrupt controller input IRQ0 and provides a system timer interrupt for time-of-day, floppy disk timeout and other system timing functions.
90 MByte/s. The signals of the primary EIDE interface are available at the extension connector only. With a single slot solution one Compact Flash on the IFLASH3 card is usable. The CL9-IO extension board is a two slot solution with either a 2.5” Hard disk or two Compact Flash bays. The signals of the secondary EIDE interface are not used.
USB Interface The CL9 has four USB 2.0 channels, one EHCI USB2 host controller with a total of four ports (shared with the UHCI ports) and two UHCI controllers for a total of four ports (shared with EHCI ports). The USB host controller supports legacy Keyboard/Mouse software with USB-based keyboard and mouse software.
For storage of SPD and factory user data a serial EEPROM is implemented on the CL9 board. It is a standard 24C04 type EEPROM with 512 bytes. The user EEPROM is a 24C1024 type with 128 KByte. More information about reading and writing the contents can be found in the data sheets from the manufacturer (e.g.
For CL9 in System Slot, the input ENUM is able to generate an ACPI event to force the software to interrogate all boards within the system for resource allocation regarding I/O, memory and interrupt usage.
