Getting Started Integrating the Board into a System You can use the following check list when installing the board in a system for the first time and with minimum configuration. Power-down the system. Insert the F301 into a peripheral slot of your CompactPCI system, making sure that the CompactPCI connectors are properly aligned.
Functional Description Functional Description Power Supply The F301 is supplied with +5V and +3.3V via the CompactPCI bus. Ethernet Ports 2.2.1 Implementation on F301 The F301 is based on the KS8999 9-port Ethernet switch. (See Chapter 2.3 Ethernet Switch on page 16.) The board allows data rates of up to 100Mbits/s and supports full-duplex operation.
Functional Description Ethernet Switch The F301 features a KS8999 9-port Ethernet switch device. The KS8999 contains eight 10/100 physical layer transceivers, and nine MAC (Media Access Control) units with an integrated Layer 2 switch. The device runs in two modes. The first mode is an eight-port integrated switch and the second is as a nine port switch with the ninth port available through an MII (Media Independent Interface).
Functional Description CompactPCI Interface The F301 supports a 32-bit 33-MHz CompactPCI interface fully compatible with CompactPCI specification PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0. This interface is realized by the 82551ER Ethernet controller. The board works with 3.3V or 5V VI/O. The Ethernet switch is not recognized by other CompactPCI devices.
Appendix Appendix Literature and Web Resources • F301 data sheet with up-to-date information and documentation: www.men.de/products/02F301-.html Finding out the Product’s Article Number, Revision and Serial Number MEN user documentation may describe several different models and/or design revisions of the F301. You can find information on the article number, the design revision and the serial number on two labels attached to the board.
