Transition Module Preparation and
Installation
5.1
Overview
This chapter provides hardware preparation and installation instructions for the CPCI-6115-
MCPTM transition module. Refer to
Chapter 3,
Controls, LEDs, and Connectors
for pin
assignments.
The CPCI-6115-MCPTM transition module provides additional I/O capabilities to the CPCI-
6115 SBC. The transition module is installed directly in the CompactPCI backplane in the rear
transition board bay of the chassis and interfaces with the CPCI-6115 SBC through the J3 and
J5 connectors.
Rear panel connectors on the CPCI-6115-MCPTM include one of two configurations: two RJ-
45 connectors for 10/100/1000BaseTx Ethernet and one RJ-45 connector for asynchronous
serial port, COM1 (CompactPCI version); or four RJ-45 connectors for asynchronous serial
ports, COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4 (MXP version).
Only COM1 and COM2, however, are
available on the CPCI-6115 SBC for use with the transition module
. An additional two serial
ports and the one EIDE channel are available on J3 and J5 from the baseboard.
The transition module supports two single-wide (74mm wide by 69mm long) PMC I/O modules.
PMC I/O pins 1 through 64 of each PMC slot on the CPCI-6115 SBC are routed from the J3
and J5 connectors to the PMC I/O (PIM1 and PIM2) on the transition module. For a detailed
description of PMC I/O modules refer to the section titled
PMC I/O Modules
on page 104
.
Before installing your transition module, ensure that you have performed all tasks as described
in
Chapter 2,
Hardware Preparation and Installation
for installing the CPCI-6115 prior to
configuring and installing the transition module.
