Block-circuit diagram of the CPCI-HD module
The CPCI-HD is a CompactPCI board in Euro format and offers an on-board hard disk drive and a
CompactFlash card interface.
The CPCI-HD module is equipped with a HPT370A IDE-drive controller which supports two IDE-
channels. One channel is used to control the local HD-drive and the other channel is used to control the
CompactFlash slot.
The CompactFlash slot is in the front panel. The CompactFlash card is accessed in ‘True IDE’-mode.
The board is also available without HD-drive. Up to two IDE-devices can then be connected via a 44-
pole ribbon cable.
LEDs in the front panel show the status of the board.
