The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card (375-0120-xx) is designed to be used with the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 range of Compact PCI host/satellite boards and is fully compliant with the CompactPCI Core Specification, Release Note for PICMG 2.0 Revision 3.0 (October 1999, PCI Industrial Computers Manufacturers Group).

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card is a fully compatible, carrier-grade CompactPCI I/O card for the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 boards. However, it is not compatible with other CompactPCI boards.

It is the responsibility of the system designer to integrate peripheral devices to the connectors on the backplane in a Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 chassis configuration. A designer can either connect directly to the backplane signals or use an XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card. This document provides information only for the integration of the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card in a Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board CompactPCI chassis.

Features

This section lists the important features of the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card.

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card requires a CompactPCI chassis with a backplane that accommodates front and rear CompactPCI board installation. The primary purpose of this board is to provide the connection to Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board I/O devices.

The 6U form factor, single-slot transition card supplies rear I/O connection to support additional peripherals with simplified system cabling for use with the compatible CompactPCI system host boards. The rear I/O access also enables the complementary system host boards to be replaced without disconnecting cables. Industry-standard connectors and pin assignments ensure ease of use and flexible design. The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card enables the creation of high-density systems by enabling easy access to I/O.

FIGURE 1 shows the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card and a typical Netra CP2160 board connected through the backplane.

I/O Interfaces

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card provides additional I/O features (through the J3 and J5 CompactPCI connector interfaces) to the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 boards. Many I/O functions are provided on the transition card's own faceplate (as shown in FIGURE 2), as well as from headers mounted on the card.

 FIGURE 2 XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card Faceplate

These function include:

• Two PMC Interface Module (PIM) I/O connections (with user-defined I/O). Only PIM A may be used on the transition card when it is mated with a board that is using one or two single-wide memory module/s.
• Two 10/100 Fast Ethernet (RJ45) ports available (channel A and channel B)
• Two serial (mini-DB9) ports, TTYA and TTYB. TTYA is the system console port.
• Two Universal Serial Bus ports. One is accessible directly on the I/O panel, and the other accessible through the PIM A connector (see FIGURE 7 for the location of the PIM connectors.)

Refer to Cabling Requirements for information on which cables to use for the transition card.

On-Board Components

• I2C Serial EEPROM (FRU ID) -- This component contains board identification and some manufacturing information such as the part number and date code information of the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card. The SMC on the host board monitors and identifies the I2C interface. The Serial EEPROM is accessed through the local Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 I2C bus on J5. The SW301 switch is used to enable writing to the I2C Serial EEPROM (see TABLE 1 and FIGURE 3).
• I2C Bus Access Header -- The J301 10-pin connector header provides access to the I2C bus (see the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board specifications for more information). Backplane reset in/out pins are also available on this header. The transition card also provides access through on-board headers to test and debug signals.
• The only active component on the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card is the I2C EEPROM. The board is fully passive, but some power is provided to PIM carriers A and B and to the I2C EEPROM.

Backplane Interface

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card interfaces to the CompactPCI bus through J3 and J5 connectors. The pin assignments for these two sets of connectors are provided in this section.

J3 Connector

The pin assignments for J3 Connector are shown in TABLE 12 (for connector location see FIGURE 6).

J5 Connector

The pin assignments for J5 Connector are shown in TABLE 13 (for connector location see FIGURE 6).

Electrical Requirements

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card is powered through the CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board (available at 5V/3.3V/12V/-12V, maximum 2.5 W). For more information, see the Netra CP2060 and CP2080 Board Technical Reference Manual and Installation Guide (P/N 806-6658-xx) and the Netra CP2160 CompactPCI Board Installation and Technical Reference Manual (P/N 816-5772-xx).

On-board PIM Card Interface

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card supports PMC I/O modules (PIMs). PIMs are generally located on transition boards to enable rear I/O from the CompactPCI bus chassis. Custom PIMs can also provide additional I/O that does not fit on the standard transition card faceplate. (For more information on PIM slot mechanics, electrical and logical information, see VITA 36 - PMC I/O Module Standard available at http://www.vita.com and the IEEE P1386 Standard).

The PIM modules are available in two sizes. The single-sized PIMs measure 74 mm (2.92 inches) wide and 69 mm (2.72 inches) deep. The double-sized PIM modules measure 149 mm (5.87 inches) wide and 69 mm (2.72 inches) deep. A double-sized PIM module may also be used in place of two single-sized modules.

FIGURE 7 and FIGURE 8 show typical views of PIM cards used with the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card.

The J5 I/O on the host board, through the PIM cards on the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card, provides matching I/O on the enclosure backpanel. The signals are routed through the CompactPCI J5 connector.

An IHV-supplied PIM card hardware package includes a blank PMC card with no I/O connectors on its faceplate for plugging into the PMC A connectors on the CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board, and a PIM card that is connected on the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card with I/O connectors available on the (rear) transition card panel. This enables the availability of I/O connections on the rear.

Caution - A PIM card must be used with its matching PMC; any other combination could lead to damaging the combination PIM/PMC. The reason is that when a PIM card is used, the complementary PMC card is dedicated to the use of the PIM card and does not provide any additional rear I/O connectors.

Access to the CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board SMC serial port via SMC TX and SMC RX signals on both PIMs are available. For details on the PIM connector pins see FIGURE 2.

Installing the Transition Card in a CompactPCI Chassis

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card installs into a CompactPCI chassis with a backplane made for front and rear board installation (see FIGURE 9). It must be installed in the slot directly behind the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board for proper operation. These back-to-back slots have common pins to enable passing of signals between them.

Safety Information

Before installing the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card into a chassis, refer to the safety information in the following documents:

• Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems (816-7190-xx) included in the ship kit for the transition card
• Safety information in the technical reference manual that corresponds to the Netra board that you are using. The technical reference and installation guides are available at the following web site:

http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/CPU_Boards

Caution - Ensure that you are installing an XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card.

You can install the XCP2060-TRN I/O transition card either with the system power on or off. If you are going to install the card with the chassis powered-on, you must install the transition card before the Netra CP2060 or CP2160 board.

1. Disconnect the power from the chassis, if appropriate.

If you must install the transition card with the chassis power on, you must install the transition card before installing the corresponding Netra CP2060 or CP2160 board.

Note that the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card is not hot-swappable.

2. Check the positioning of the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card extraction levers.

Ensure that the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card extraction levers are aligned perpendicular to the card flange.

3. Install the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card into the chassis rear connector slot that lines up directly with the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board (see FIGURE 9).

a. Position the card such that its J5 connector is on top.

The USB connector should be uppermost.

b. Engage the board edges with the chassis card guides and slide it into the chassis (see FIGURE 10).

c. Using the ejector handles, gently maneuver the card into registration with the keying hardware and the shoulders surrounding the backplane pins, without the card socket contacts engaging these pins.

At this point, the card rear flange should project approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) back from the "fully home" position.

d. Apply pressure to engage the pins and seat the board.

 FIGURE 10 Align Transition Card During Installation in Backplane

Caution - During the above step, take care to ensure that the transition card is perpendicular to the backplane when it is moved into connection with the backplane pins. Careless vertical or angular positioning during board insertion can result in damage to the backplane and subsequent electrical destruction of the transition card and the corresponding Netra host board.

4. Install the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board into the front of the chassis (see FIGURE 9) and push the board towards the backplane to make sure it is seated properly and the connectors make good contact with the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card.

5. Install the supported peripheral devices at the transition card connector ports as required.

Refer to Cabling Requirements for information on which cables to use for the transition card.

For further details on installation of the Netra board, see the Netra CP2060 and CP2080 Technical Reference Manual and Installation Guide (806-6658-xx) and the Netra CP2160 CompactPCI Board Installation and Technical Reference Manual (816-5772-xx).

6. Power-on the system.

Refer to your system manual for instructions on correctly powering-on the system.
