4 • System Architecture 600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual CompactPCI form factor CompactPCI is flexible in the mechanical and connector area, using a passive backplane and plug-in daughter- boards. The architecture is based on the IEC 1101.10 and 1101.11 Eurocard standard for the fixed 160mm depth (for front boards), but allows for two board heights: •...
600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture Board front panels CompactPCI boards provide a front panel interface that is consistent with Eurocard packaging and compliant with IEEE 1101.10 (EMC panels). Ejector/injector handles are used on the boards. 3U boards only use one handle, while the 6U board uses two (see figure 5).

600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture 3U and 6U cards use a single 220 pin connector for all power, ground, and all 32- and 64-bit PCI signals. This connector consists of two halves—the lower half (110 pins) is called J1/P1 and the upper half (also 110 pins) is called J2/P2.
600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture In addition, there are power pins labeled +V(I/O). The V(I/O) power pins on the connector are used to power the buffers on the peripheral boards, allowing a card to be designed to work in either interface. CompactPCI supports this dual-interface scheme by utilizing backplane connector keying (see “Keying of CPCI backplanes...
4 • System Architecture 600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual Signaling Environment The 6U Model 5406 Backplane/Midplane provides for either a 5V or 3.3V signaling environment. PCI allows for two types of buffer interfaces for interboard connection. The V(I/O) power pins on the connec- tor are used to power the buffers on the peripheral boards, allowing a card to be designed to work in either interface.

600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture 2. Using a phillips screwdriver, remove the screw and wire from the 5V ring terminal (labeled J16) (see figure 11). Do not remove the wire from the V(I/O) terminal (labeled J17).
4 • System Architecture 600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual To avoid equipment damage, after you change the V(I/O) to 3.3V, replace the blue connector key with the cadmium yellow connector key. See “Keying of CPCI backplanes and boards” on page 48 for more information on keying.
600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture CompactPCI defines slot numbering based on the concept of physical and logical slots. Physical backplane slots are designated 1, 2, 3, through N, where N is the number of slots. Physical slot numbering starts at the left on the 6U Model 5406 Backplane/Midplane (see figure 14).
4 • System Architecture 600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual for the power supply signals DEG# and FAL# at the system slot. (See table 6 for more information on the backplane signals.) Backplane signals CompactPCI utilizes PCI signals as defined by the PCI Local Bus Specification, with some additional signals.
600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture Alarms In CompactPCI‚ systems the Alarm Card is designed to monitor and report alarm conditions to a system level controller or a remote alarm panel. The connections from the Alarm Card to the system level controller are passed through the connector.
600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture Backplane power distribution Power is distributed in a CompactPCI system via the backplane. The backplane provides standard direct cur- rent (DC) supply voltages as specified in table 7 below Table 7.
4 • System Architecture 600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual External power connections The chassis provides a rear DC interface panel with -48V DC power interfaces for N+1 power operation and dual ground bugs, as shown in figure 16 below. The connectors are described in table 8.
600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture Table 8. Description of rear interface panel connectors (Continued) Item Description Ground bugs The dual-frame ground bugs must be used to connect the chassis to earth ground on dc interfaces. Failure to do this will cause excessive RF emissions and could possibly create a safety hazard.

600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 4 • System Architecture shipped with a 5 volt key installed, and a spare 3.3 volt key, with a recommendation to the user to install the key which matches the system. In some cases, universal boards may not have any keying.
Page 50
4 • System Architecture 600 Series 6U CPCI Chassis User Manual 3U cards use just the lower keying block (cavities D, E and F), since there is only one handle. This results in 64 keying possibilities for the 3U form factor. A 6U card has two handles, so it uses both the top and bottom key- ing blocks (A-F), resulting in 4096 keying possibilities.
