Introduction Chapter 1 – Introduction Module Features The XVPX-6300 offers the following features: Intel® Core™ i7 Processor. Available models are all dual-core: i7-610E at 2.53GHz, i7-620LE at 2GHz and i7-620UE at 1.06GHz. 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM running at 1033MHz (610E, 620LE) or 800MHz (620UE).
Introduction 5. Modules should be handled by the edges. Avoid touching the component leads. NOTE: When not installed in a system, modules must be enclosed in shielded bags or boxes. There are three types of ESD protective enclosure materials this module was shipped in an approved ESD bag. 6.
(XVPX-9630) allows for the connection of two drives using standard SATA cables. VPXbus Interface The XVPX-6300 interface to VPXbus is via two PCIe x4 connections from the i7 directly to the VPX backplane on Fat Pipe A and Fat Pipe B. Note...
The XVPX-6300 also complies with EN60950 (product safety), which is essentially the requirement for the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC). Air-cooled build levels of the XVPX-6300 are designed for use in systems meeting VDE class B, EN and FCC regulations for EMC emissions and susceptibility.
RoHS Compliant Build Levels The XVPX-6300 is available in three electrically compatible build levels, each of which is carefully tailored to a particular set of requirements and environments. All three levels fully support the power and versatility of VPX, so no matter how large or diversified your project, absolute compatibility is assured at all stages of development.
The following section describes the XVPX-6300 jumpers with their default positions and functions. CS_PGM 1-2 (default) NORMAL OPERATION FACTORY USE ONLY This jumper must be in the 1-2 position for normal operation. The XVPX-6300 will not boot with this jumper in 2-3 position.
ALSO VPX IF SW1-3 IS ON) NO PUSHBUTTON RESET In position 1-2, the front panel reset button will reset the XVPX-6300 and also reset the VPX interface if SW1-3 is ON. In position 2-3, the front panel button will not cause any resets.

It is strongly suggested that ESD protection be included in interface circuitry on the VGA and USB ports. Failure to do so may cause damage the XVPX-6300 in the event of an ESD discharge into the I/O pins.
Installation and Setup FPANEL The FPANEL connector ports (USB1, USB2, COM4 and VGA) can be accessed through standard connectors by using the supplied FPANEL dongle cable (P/N 201157). Note that the DB-9 serial connector on this dongle cable is wired as a DTE port. USB Port 0 + USB Port 0 - +5V USB POWER...
Front Panel LEDs and Reset Switch The reset switch can be configured in the BIOS to either reset the XVPX-6300, or to reset both the VPXbus and the XVPX-6300. The green pass and red fail LEDs are used as an indication of board health during the BIOS boot up.
Installation and Setup PCI-Express Common Clock Enabled: Drives out 100MHZ clock on VPX P0 REFCLK pins Disabled: Does not drive out 100MHZ clock on VPX P0 REFCLK pins Auto: Determined by state of VPX SYS_CON# pin SYS_CON# = LOW: Enabled SYS_CON# = HIGH: Disabled NAND Flash Enable Enabled:...
Installation The XVPX-6300 can connect to other cards on the VPX bus through two Fat Pipes (PCIe x4), but also supports smaller link widths. Review the Safety Notices section before installing the board. The following notices also apply:...
Chapter 3 – Accessory Modules XVPX-9630 The optional XVPX-9630 Rear Transition Module is used for easy interfacing to the XVPX-6300’s P1 and P2 I/O. The base board contains a standard 15-pin VGA, 2 standard USB ‘A’, 2 standard 7-pin SATA, and 5-pin audio. PIM modules are used to add additional connectors.
VGA HSYNC Battery The XVPX-9630 can supply VBAT power to the XVPX-6300 and the rest of the VPX chassis by installing a standard BR1225 or CR1225 coin cell. Please ensure there is not another source of VBAT in the chassis...
