1.1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Kontron's 6U CompactPCI
and industrial control/monitoring markets.
The cPCI-MXS64 6U CompactPCI system processor brings scalable multiprocessing
capability to the telecom and industrial automation markets. It is designed to operate as a
"system" processor and must be installed in CompactPCI system slot.
Fully hot swappable, the cPCI-MXS64 communicates with other processor boards using
the CompactPCI backplane as the physical layer of a 1 Gb/s Ethernet.
To provide the necessary interconnect, support local versions of the following OS:
Microsoft Windows NT, Microsoft Windows 2000, Linux, VxWorks and pSOS.
Multi-level PCI-to-PCI bridging is fully supported. Based on Intel's 21154 PCI-to–PCI -
transparent bridge, the feature set of the cPCI-MXS64 includes a rich selection of standard
peripherals.
The cPCI-MXS64 offers a natural growth path to high performance, high availability as
well as hot swap and scalable multiprocessing technology.
The cPCI-MXS64 can be ordered in either front I/O interfacing (video, serial port,
2xEthernet, all available on the face plate) or rear I/O interfacing through cPCI I/O
connectors J3, J4 and J5 (no interconnection capability on the face plate).
CompactPCI Connectors
Rear I/O cPCI connectors are PICMG 2.0 Rev 3.0 compliant. CompactPCI connectors are
located at the rear edge of the processor board. The complete cPCI connector configuration
of the cPCI-MXS64 is composed of four connectors referred to as J1, J2, J3, J4, and J5.
Their function is described below:
J1
