XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card Product Note

This product note document is written for users of the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card. The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card works with the Netra trademark CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 range of CompactPCI boards.

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.

Notes of Caution

1. The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card part number, date code, and revision number are identified on board labels. See FIGURE 2 in the section Technical Support for the label locations. Before installing the transition card, its board part number (for example, 3750120) must be verified to ensure that the correct transition card is being installed into the CompactPCI system.

2. Ensure that the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card is perpendicular to the backplane when it is connected to 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 See FIGURE 1 for an illustration of how to properly align the transition card with the backplane connectors.

FIGURE 1 Alignment of Transition Card and Backplane during Installation

This diagram shows how to carefully align the transition card in the backplane during installation.

Safety Considerations

For general safety information, refer to Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems, 816-7190-xx.

For information on board-specific safety requirements, refer to the Netra CP2060 and CP2080 Technical Reference and Installation Manual (806-6658-xx) and Netra CP2160 CompactPCI Board Installation and Technical Reference Manual (816-5772-xx).

Follow these guidelines when installing an XCP2060-TRN I/O transition card to avoid injury to yourself or damage to the system:

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card installation procedure must be performed only by qualified technicians.

Before installing or removing the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card, turn the power on the CompactPCI system off. However, if the CompactPCI system is on and running, the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card should be inserted first, followed by the mating CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board.

Software Information

This section provides information that may affect software operation.

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card is designed to support the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 host board. It therefore supports the software supported by the host boards. Refer to 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) for host board software support.

Hardware Information

Before installing or removing the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card, turn the power on the CompactPCI system off. However, if the CompactPCI system is on and running, the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card should be inserted first, followed by the mating Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 board. Refer to the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card Manual for Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 CompactPCI Boards
(806-6203-xx) for further hardware information.

Technical Support

If you have any technical questions or issues that are not addressed in the Netra CP2060/CP2080/CP2160 documentation set or on the web site, or you need to return the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card, contact your local Sun Enterprise Services.

When you call Enterprise Services, be sure to indicate that the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card was purchased separately and is not associated with a system. Please have the board identification information ready (see FIGURE 2).

The XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card board part number, serial number, and revision can be found on stickers located on the board labels. For proper identification of the board, please see the list below and FIGURE 2. The Sun Microsystems barcode label provides the following information:

Board part number (for example, 3750120) which is the first seven digits on the barcode label. The next six digits are the board serial number (for example, 005609).

Product part number (for example, 5762), product dash (for example, 02) and revision number (for example REV 57).

Board date code (for example, 03/01) which represents the third week of
year 2001.

Country of origin (for example, ASSEMBLED IN CANADA)

Note - The CM barcode label in FIGURE 2 is an optional label and may or may not appear on the XCP2060-TRN I/O Transition Card.
