1Overview
1.1 Introduction
The cPCI-6510 Series is a 6U CompactPCI single board computer
in single slot width (4HP) form factor supporting 32nm Intel®
Core™ i7 SV, LV, ULV processors with integrated graphics and
ECC memory controller onboard. The cPCI-6510 provides up to
8GB of dual channel DDR3-800/1066 ECC memory soldered
onboard and implements the Mobile Intel® QM57 Express Chipset
to provide a full feature set and optimal performance per watt.
The cPCI-6510 Series provides a 64bit/66MHz CompactPCI bus,
up to two PMC sites with 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X bus supporting
rear I/O (PIM), and one PCI Express x8 XMC site (shared with
inner PMC site). Featured I/O includes four PCI Express Gigabit
Ethernet ports (two on front panel, two for PICMG 2.16), two USB
ports and a CompactFlash socket. DVI-I, COM and additional USB
ports are available on the cPCI-6510V version which also provides
a SATA connector for an onboard 2.5” SATA HDD. Optional Rear
Transition Modules provide versatile additional I/O including two
additional GbE, USB, COM, High Definition Audio, and storage
interfaces such as SATA, SCSI, and SAS with RAID support. The
cPCI-6510V supports dual independent display via two DVI or one
DVI and one VGA when accompanied by the appropriate Rear
Transition Module.
For flexibility of use, the cPCI-6510 Series can be installed in a
standard CompactPCI system slot as system master, or peripheral
slot as a PCI device. Through hardware switch setting, the
cPCI-6510 optionally supports operation in system or peripheral
slots as a standalone blade. The cPCI-6510 Series is ideally
suited for military, aviation, communication and other industrial
applications.

2. ADLINK-certified thermal design. The thermal performance is
dependent on the chassis cooling design. Sufficient forced airflow is required (see 2.4 "Thermal Requirements" on page 13).
Temperature limit of optional mass storage devices may affect
the thermal specification.
3. The hard drive limits the operational vibration tolerance. When
application requires higher specification for anti-vibration, it is
recommended to use a solid state drive (SSD) or CompactFlash card.

2.3 Power Requirements
In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is rec-
ommended to provide more power than the system requires. An
industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at least
twice as much power as the entire system requires of each
voltage. An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide at
least three times as much power as the entire system requires.
The tolerance of the voltage lines described in the CompactPCI
specification (PICMG 2.0 R3.0) is +5%/ -3% for 5, 3.3 V and ±5%
for ±12V. This specification is for power delivered to each slot and
it includes both the power supply and the backplane tolerance.

2.4 Thermal Requirements
This section provides information on the thermal requirements of
the cPCI-6510 Series. Cooling of the board and its components is
provided by the thermal module (passive heatsink) and is dependent on sufficient airflow from the chassis.
The amount of thermal energy that can by dissipated from the
board is dependent on the ambient air temperature and the airflow
rate of the chassis. To provide the user with guidelines for the
upper limits of operating conditions for the cPCI-6510, the following sections give information on the maximum ambient air temperature as a function of airflow rate for a given level of power
consumption.
Power Dissipation Graphs
The graphs shown below illustrate the level of CPU power dissipation that can be maintained dependent on ambient air temperature
and airflow rate. One graph is provided for each CPU supported
by the cPCI-6510. The curves on each graph indicate the upper
limits of operating conditions under which the CPU will not be
affected by its thermal management and protection systems at a
given percentage of the CPU’s thermal design power (TDP).
The CPU’s thermal management and protection systems begin to
take effect when the CPU temperature exceeds the maximum
junction temperature (T
perature and airflow rate are in the ranges below the TDP curves
on the graphs, the CPU temperature will remain below T
the CPU will be able to operate at full performance (i.e. not limited
by thermal management).
The power dissipation graphs show two curves:

Thermal Management Features
When the CPU temperature exceeds its maximum junction temperature (T
reduce power consumption (and thus performance) in an attempt
to reduce the core junction temperature. Use of the CPU’s thermal
management features is intended for short periods of time when
running power intensive applications. If the system is operated
under conditions below the TDP curves above, activation of the
thermal management features will be minimal and reduction in
CPU performance will be minor.
However, if the operating conditions are outside the limits set out
above, the CPU temperature may exceed T
periods, resulting in noticeable performance loss and reduced reliability of the processor.
In extreme situations, the thermal management features may be
incapable of cooling the processor. If the CPU temperature
exceeds approximately 130°C, a catastrophic cooling failure will
be detected and the processor will automatically shut down to prevent physical damage to the processor.
