1.3.1
PMC Modules
The CP605 has one, 32-bit, 33 MHz, 5 V signal voltage, rear I/O capable, PMC mezzanine
interface. This interface supports a wide range of available PMC modules including all of
Kontron’s PMC modules and provides an easy and flexible way to configure the CP605 for
various application requirements.
1.3.2
CP-RIO6-05 Rear I/O Module
The CP-RIO6-05 rear I/O module has been designed for use with the CP605 6U CompactPCI
board from Kontron Modular Computers. This module provides comprehensive rear I/O
functionality and may also be configured for use in other applications.
For further information concerning the CP-RIO6-05 module please refer to Appendix A.

SUBJECT
INFORMATION
System Slot / System Master
Functionality
The CP605 is designed to for use as a System Master board whereby it can
support up to 7 peripheral boards with 64-bit and 33 MHz.
It may, however, be operated in a peripheral slot in which case it does not sup-
port the CompactPCI bus interface.
Peripheral Slot Functionality
When installed in a peripheral slot, the CP605 is electrically isolated for the
CompactPCI bus. It receives power from the backplane and supports rear I/O
and, if the system supports it, packet switching (in this case up to two chan-
nels of Gigabit Ethernet).
Hot Swap Compatibility
When operated as a System Master, the CP605 supports individual clocks for
each slot and ENUM signal handling is in compliance with the PICMG 2.1 Hot
Swap Specification.
When operated in a peripheral slot the CP605 supports basic hot swap.
