Introduction This manual provides information on the ADLINK cPCI-6860A Series Single Board Computer (SBC) and its corresponding Rear I/O Transition Module (RTM) cPCI-R6860A. The cPCI-6860A Series products comply with PICMG 2.0 Rev. 3.0 CompactPCI specifications for 6U 2-slot (8 TE/HP) form factor boards.
1.1 Checklist The cPCI-6860A Series product supports both front and rear panel I/O. The front board and the cPCI-R6860A RTM are sold separately. The board can be configured with either a single or dual CPU. CPU frequency is specified when the order is placed, therefore the thermal solution (heat sink with fans) is dependent on the configuration.

Note: Certified with ADLINK thermal design. The thermal performance is dependent on the cooling design. Forced air-cooling with 50 CFM is required for both single 2.4G Xeon or dual low-voltage 1.6G Xeon configurations. The temperature limit of optional mass storage devices can impact the thermal specification of the board.

2.5 cPCI-R6860A Connectors & Pin Assignments Connectors on the RTM with the same functionality as the cPCI-6860A and having the same pin definition will not be highlighted in the following section. Below is a list of common front and rear interfaces with the same pin definitions. Please refer to the relevant section for further detail.
2.6 Jumpers and Switches on the RTM Primary IDE Jumper Setting on RTM compact flash card socket on the RTM can either be set to master or slave. Jumper CN3 to the left of the CF card socket is used to set the Primary IDE channel.
Getting Started This chapter provides information on how to install peripherals onto the cPCI-6860A and cPCI-R6860A RTM. Topics covered include: • CPU Installation • Board Management Controller Installation • Thermal Module Installation • Memory Installation • HDD Installation • CF Installation •...
CAUTION: DO NOT install the single CPU configuration with the CPU in the CPU0 Socket. This is an invalid configuration and the board will not operate Install CPU here for single CPU configuration Figure 7: Single CPU Installation Dual CPU Installation When using dual CPU configuration, ensure that the identical Low-Voltage Xeon CPU models are used.
To install the BMC, align the connector on the underside of the BMC card with the socket on the cPCI-6860A as shown below in Figure 8. Use the cut-out on the BMC card and the thermal module mounting hole as a visual aid. Press down on the card to ensure it is fully inserted into the socket.
3.3 Thermal Module Installation Before installing the thermal module (heat sink), ensure that the CPU(s) is completely seated in the CPU socket and the locking lever of the CPU socket is locked. If the product comes with the thermal module installed, skip this section.
components on the board during thermal module installation and to firmly secure the BMC card (if installed) Figure 10: Install O-rings onto Thermal Module Carefully install the thermal module onto the board (see orientation shown in Figure 9), ensuring that the thermal pads are in contact with the board components.
Figure 11: Install Thermal Module onto SBC After installing the thermal module, connect the fan power cables to the onboard fan connectors as shown and secure the cables to the thermal module using the provided tie-straps to prevent them from catching during insertion or removal of the SBC.
3.4 Memory Installation The cPCI-6860A SBC supports 144-bit wide registered DDR, which is provided using two 72-bit ECC DIMM sockets. The maximum memory capacity is 4GB. If memory is pre-installed with the product package, this section may be skipped. The memory must be installed in pairs, that is, TWO identical memory modules (in size as well as in capacity) installed in the two DIMM sockets.

44 pin IDE Cable Screw Screw Screw Screw Note A: The IDE cable should be folded away as shown in the above drawing and away from obstruction during insertion and extraction of the board from its slot. 3.6 CF Installation A standard CompactFlash (CF) card has an ATA interface that is fully compatible with that of the IDE HDD.
Note for ADLINK 6400 Series Subsystems When installing (or removing) the cPCI-R6860A RTM in (from) an ADLINK 6400 Series Subsystem, first demount the chassis from the rack (if mounted) and remove the top cover of the chassis. Push or pull the cabling as required to prevent damage occurring while carefully and gently inserting or removing the RTM.
