ADLINK cPCI-3970 features an Intel® Core™ i7 processor with
Mobile Intel® QM67 Express Chipset, supports Satellite mode
operation as a standalone blade in peripheral slots and IPMI for
system health monitoring.
Front panel I/O includes 2x GbE, 2x USB, VGA, and additional
2x USB, COM, KB/MS, and Line-in/out for the 8HP cPCI-3970D
model, or 2x DisplayPort, COM and USB for the cPCI-3970G version. One optional PCI 32-bit/66 MHz PMC site or PCI-Express x1
XMC site is available on the 2nd or 3rd layer. The optional Rear

NOTE:
NOTE:
CAUTION:
The contents of non-standard cPCI-3970 configurations may
vary depending on the customer’s requirements.
This product must be protected from static discharge and phys-
ical shock. Never remove any of the components except at a
static-free workstation. Use the anti-static bag shipped with the
product when putting the board on a surface. Wear an
anti-static wrist strap properly grounded on one of the system's
ESD ground jacks when installing or servicing system compo-
T able 2-1: cPCI-3970 Processor Blade Specifications
1. When using the cPCI-R3P00 RTM, LAN1/2 from the 82574L controllers
can be routed via J2 to the RTM. When using the cPCI-R3P00T RTM,
the cPCI-3970 front panel GbE ports change to LAN3/4 and the
cPCI-R3P00T GbE ports are LAN1/2 due to PCI-Express root port
sequence requirements of the PCH.
2. The storage device limits the operational vibration tolerance.
When the application requires higher specification for
anti-vibration, it is recommended to use a flash storage device.
3. ADLINK-certified thermal design. The thermal performance is dependent on the chassis cooling design. Sufficient forced air-flow is required
(see “Thermal Requirements” on page 22). Temperature limits of
optional mass storage devices may also affect the thermal specification.
4. A DB-9-to-DB-9 dongle to convert the cPCI-3970G RS-422/485 pin definitions to common pin definitions is included in the package
(“cPCI-3970G/U Serial Ports” on page 44).
