EKF PC7-FESTIVAL, User Manual

Page: 60 / 108

User Guide • PC7-FESTIVAL • CompactPCI® PlusIO CPU Board
Warning: Do not operate the standard PC7-FESTIVAL in systems with a 64-bit
CompactPCI® backplane. The J2/P2 pin assignment of a 64-bit CPCI backplane differs
substantially from a CompactPCI® PlusIO backplane, which will result in an overvoltage
or short circuit situation on several pins, causing permanent damage to the PC7-FESTIVAL . For use
together with a 64-bit CompactPCI® classic backplane, special PC7-FESTIVAL versions are available
on customer request, however supporting only 32-bit peripheral cards. The use of 64-bit
CompactPCI® classic peripheral boards may cause problems.
Board Hot-Plug
Hot-plug of the PC7-FESTIVAL is not supported, no matter whether it is working as a system
controller or satellite board. But it is possible for the PC7-FESTIVAL to detect and handle hot-plug
events of peripheral boards. This feature is supported on all interfaces fed to the CompactPCI
PlusIO backplane, i.e.
<
PCI Express
<
SATA
<
USB
< Gigabit Ethernet
Except of PCI Express, hot-plug is enabled on all interfaces by default. For PCI Express the
UEFI/BIOS (Build #138 or later) setup of the PC7-FESTIVAL provides settings to switch on or off the
hot-plug feature, for Fat Pipe or Standard peripheral slots on different menu places:
