Using the G25A as a Peripheral Board

It  is  possible  to  use  more  than  one  G25A  board  within  a  CPCI-S.0  system  to  build  a

redundant system or a cluster with more processing power. The communication

between the boards is done via Ethernet in this case and the other high-speed interfaces

cannot be used. The G25A cannot be booted via SATA in such a configuration.
In peripheral mode the following interfaces available on the CPCI-S.0 connector are

disabled by the board firmware automatically:

PCI Express

USB

SATA

SMBus

SGPIO

All control signals which are only available for system boards

The board firmware detects if the board is inserted in a peripheral slot by monitoring the

SYS_EN#

 pin on CompactPCI Serial connector P1.
