XMC-G460 2.3 Power Consumption The power consumption data of the XMC-G460 was measured using 3D Mark06 at different engine clock frequencies (memory clock fixed at 700MHz). Configuration Futuremark 3DMark06 Professional Edition 1.1.0 Current (A) Power (W) Engine Voltage (V) Clock...
2.4 Thermal Requirements This section provides information on the thermal requirements of the XMC-G460. Cooling of the board and its components is pro- vided by the thermal module (passive heatsink) and is dependent on sufficient airflow from the chassis. The amount of thermal energy that can by dissipated from the board is dependent on the ambient air temperature, power con- sumption of the host board, and the airflow rate of the chassis.
2.5 Graphics Performance Futuremark 3DMark06 Professional Edition 1.1.0 was used to mea- sured the graphics performance of the XMC-G460 while installed on an ADLINK cPCI-6510 6U CompactPCI Processor Blade. The below table shows the test configuration and results at different engine clock speeds.
3.3 Switch Settings RGB Output Switch (SWY1) The XMC-G460 has a switch to set the DAC channel outputs (RGB) to front or rear. The default setting is both channels to the front panel. Mode DAC1 to front DB-15 VGA DAC2 to front DVI-I...
XMC-G460 Getting Started 4.1 Installing the Module 1. Remove the XMC slot filler faceplate from the front panel of the host board. 2. Insert the faceplate of the XMC module into the XMC slot in the front panel of the host board.
4.2 Driver Installation The XMC-G460 drivers can be found on the ADLINK All-In-One DVD at X:\XMC\XMC-G460\GPU, or at the ADLINK website (http://www.adlinktech.com). Driver installation procedures for Windows® XP are described below. 1. Install the Windows operating system before installing any driver. Most standard I/O device drivers are installed during Windows installation.
XMC-G460 VBIOS Update For thermal considerations, the engine clock of the XMC-G460 can be changed by applying a VBIOS update. ADLINK provides four VBIOS options (200, 300, 400, 500MHz) for users to set the best performance and thermal combination for their application.
