Proper handling of the CM6 is critical to ensure proper operation and long-term
reliability. When unpacking the board, and whenever handling it thereafter, be
sure to hold the board by the front panel or the card ejectors as shown in the
drawing on the left. Do not hold the board by the circuit card edges, the heat
sink, or the connectors.
Initial Inspection
After unpacking the CM6, you should inspect it for visible damage that could
have occurred during shipping or unpacking. If damage is observed (usually in
the form of bent component leads or loose socketed components), contact GE
Intelligent Platforms for additional instructions. Depending on the severity of
the damage, it may need to be returned to the factory for repair
. DO NOT
apply power to the board if it has visible damage.
Doing so may cause
further, possibly irreparable damage, as well as introduce a fire or shock
hazard.
Attention:
Do not insert a CM6 board in a 3/6U 64-bit Backplane because
this may damage electrical interfaces at the CM6.
Please take care that the CM6 is configured for use as a
CompactPCI controller in delivery state (CPCI bridge in
transparent mode).
For use as a peripheral board (CPCI bridge in NON-
transparent mode) please insert the CM6 into a CPCI system
slot, power it on and reconfigure the CPCI bridge with the U-
Boot command ‘bridge’:
bridge cpci program default peripheral.
