1.2.13 CompactPCI Interface
The PP 110/01x is a CompactPCI compatible System Controller and Peripheral Board. It may
also act as a Satellite board in any backplane slot. The board uses a 64-bit interface
implemented with a HiNT
®
Corporation (HINT) HB6 PCI to PCI bridge. As a System Controller it
supports PICMG 2.1 compliant Hot Swap Peripheral Boards and as a Peripheral Board it is
PICMG 2.1 Hot Swap compliant. As a Satellite board it may be Hot Swapped under the control
of an on-board microcontroller.
1.2.14 System Management
The PP 110/01x supports PICMG 2.9 system management. The IPMI SMIC interface is
implemented and both IPMB 0 and IPMB 1 communication channels are provided. An on-board
microcontroller provides the requisite IPMI functionality. The microcontroller can be configured
to provide Baseboard Manager Controller (BMC) functionality.
1.2.15 Serial Communications
The PP 110/01x provides one RS232 serial data communication channel. This is implemented
by the Super I/O controller and is available at a shared 26-way front panel connector. A splitter
cable (part number CB 26D/124) is required to access the serial interface.
The baud rate clock is generated internally by the Super I/O Controller.
NOTE
Two more serial channels are provided on the AD PP5/001-00.
1.2.16 Keyboard & Mouse
PS/2
™
type keyboard and mouse interfaces are available via a shared 26-way high density front
panel connector. A splitter cable (part number CB 26D/124) is required to access these
interfaces. See Section 6.2 for more information about these ports.
1.2.17 Real Time Clock (RTC)
A battery backed RTC device provides PC-AT clock, calendar and configuration RAM functions.
The RTC and BIOS are year 2000 compliant.
