A right-angle SCSI connector is standard. Vertical connectors can be installed. PCIeBPMC utilizes one PCIe lane to operate with PCI(x)-25, 33, 50, 66 speeds. PCIeBPMCX1 uses up to four PCIe lanes to operate with PCI-25, 33, 50, 66, 100 or 133 speeds.
FAN options are recommended. The transparent bridge does not require any software interaction. When hosted by the PCIeBPMC or PCIeBPMCX1, your PMC drivers will work without modification. If settings are adjusted, the bridge can provide higher bandwidth for DMA transfers. Contact Dynamic Engineering for information about modifications.

PCIeBPMCX1 PCIeBPMC User’s Guide Feature Comments Local power supplies for +5, 3.3 and With revision 10 boards, the 5V and 3.3V supplies can be disabled, delayed, or instant on. With revision 12 the power supplies source up to 15A ea.
Power all system power supplies from one switch. Connecting external voltage to the PCIeBPMCX1 when it is not powered can damage it and the rest of the host system. This problem may be avoided by turning all power supplies on and off at the same time. This applies more to the PMCs installed onto the PCIeBPMCX1 than the PCIEBPMCX1 itself and it is good system design when it can be achieved.
PCIeBPMCX1 PCIeBPMC User’s Guide Thermal Considerations If the PMC installed has large heat dissipation, forced air cooling is recommended. A fan option is available for high thermal load PMCs or for a chassis with a lack of air circulation. The fan option is required for PMCs using 5A or more on either or both of the 5V or 3.3V rails.
EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS Automatic Operation Settings Table 5: Automatic Frequency Selection Mode and Bus Rate PCI_PCIXCAP PCI_SEL100 PCI_M66EN Switches 1,2,3 Automatic selection C,O,O *Note: Switch 4 is used to select between the upper and lower frequency at each frequency level (25/33, 50/66, 100/133). Bridge Special Selections The DIPSWITCH has 8 switches.
PCIeBPMCX1 PCIeBPMC User’s Guide Switch 4 when open leaves PCI Select 100 pulled up to 3.3 though an 8.2KΩ resistor. If the switch is closed the signal is tied to ground. Note This feature was added for revision 2 and later boards.
The monarch pin is also tied to the DIPSWITCH for user selection. Fan Options PCIeBPMCX1 features cooling cutouts designed to support the addition of a fan in one and/or two positions for the PMC. On PrPMCs, and other PMCs, with high thermal loads, the fan option is recommended.
12V, 3.3V, and 3.3V AUX are available on the backplane connector. PCIeBPMCX1 uses the 12V and 3.3V for internal functions. The 3.3V rail is used for the bridge and not connected to the PMC. The PCIe 12V is also used to generate the 1.8V for the Bridge.
EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS For designs using less than 5A on the 5V and 3.3V rails and operating in a “lab” environment, no additional cooling is required. With loads approaching 5A and/or operating at higher temperatures, forced air cooling is required. The zero slot fans provide enough air flow to extend the operational limit of the supplies. The full 15A may require additional airflow to the rear of the card depending on the operational temperature etc.

EMBEDDED SOLUTIONS J2, J3 SCSI Power Pinout Located at the rear of the card next to the SCSI connector. J2 and J3 are three pin headers used to select the definition of pins 33,67(J2) and 34,68(J3) on the SCSI connector. The headers are installed if the –SCSI option is selected when ordering. Shunting pins 1-2 applies 3.3V, 2-3 applies ground.
