Product Overview
The CP-RIO6-923 is a PICMG 2.0 compliant 6U rear panel I/O board that can be used with PICMG 2.16 compli-
ant switches like the CP6923 or the CP6930. It provides access to up to 24 of the switch ports that are con-
nected to the backplane. The serial console management port (RS-232) of the CP6923 is also accessible with
this RIO module.
This module is intended to access the backplane ports of a PICMG 2.16 compliant switch board directly. These
are the ports located on connectors J3, J4 and J5. Any connections on the backplane on these connectors be-
tween the switch and any other board are not usable together with the RIO module. However, if no other
boards connect to J3, J4 and J5, but the backplane provides slot interconnection and RIO support, the CP-
RIO6-923 can be used without restrictions.
If the CP-RIO6-923 is used with a backplane that supports slot inter-
connect on J3 to J5 as well as RIO support, make sure that no other
board in the system connects to J3 to J5. Otherwise, unpredictable
behaviour or even damage may occur.
The CP-RIO6-923 is a rugged design intended to be used in harsh environments and features
• Support of extended temperature range
• Optional conformal coating
• High shock & vibration capabilities
Three variants are available, providing different numbers of 1000Base-T ports:
