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.
The cPCI-6860A is a state-of-the-art system master processor board in a 6U
dual-slot CompactPCI form factor. It features a single Intel
processor with 512KB L2 cache, or a single/dual Low Voltage Intel® Xeon™
1.6, or 2.0GHz processor(s). An Intel
to four gigabytes of 144-bit wide PC1600 registered ECC DDR and a
processor front side bus speed of 400/533MHz. The cPCI-6860A also
features an Intel
high-speed 133MHz 64bit PCI-X bus. The Ethernet connections can be
accessed through the front faceplate or switched to the backplane for PICMG
2.16 compliant applications.
With the cPCI-R6860A rear transition module (RTM), the cPCI-6860A
provides two extra gigabit Ethernet ports, an Ultra 320 SCSI controller, and
two ATA100 channels which can support either a 2.5 inch IDE HDD or
CompactFlash (CF) memory card for non-volatile flash storage applications.
In addition to high computing performance and communication capabilities,
the cPCI-6860A supports Intelligent Platform Management IPMI v1.0 using
an optional Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) for applications that
require high reliability and serviceability. ADLINK's cPCI-6860A is the ideal
solution for telecom, data center, and Internet applications.
