2.2Power Requirements
In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is recommended 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 an d
it includes both the power supply and the backplane tolerance.

2.3Thermal Management Features
When the CPU temperature exceed s 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.

7.1Watchdog Timer
This section describes the operation of the CT-61’s watchdog
timer (WDT). The primary function of the WDT is to monitor the
CT-61's operation and to reset the system if a software application
fails to function as programmed. The following WDT functions may
be controlled using a software application:
X enabling and disabling
X reloading timeout value
The CT-61 custom WDT circuit is implemented using the internal
IO of the ITE Super I/O IT8783 which is at address 2Eh of LPC.
The basic functions of the WDT include:
X Starting the timer countdown
X Enabling or disabling WDT
X Enabling or disabling WDT countdown LED ON
X Reloading the timeout value to keep the watchdog from timing
out
X Setting the range of the timeout period from 1 to 15300 seconds
or minutes
X Sending a RESET signal to the system when the watchdog
times out
CT-61
Using the Watchdog in an Application
The following section describes using the WDT functions in an
application. The WDT reset function is explained in the previous
section. This can be controlled through the registers in the CT-61's
Super I/O.
An application using the reset fe ature enab les the watch dog func tion, sets the count-down period, and reloads the timeout value
periodically to keep it from resetting the system. If the timer countdown value is not reloaded, the watchdog resets the system hardware after its counter reaches zero.

The CT-61 supports operation in peripheral slot as PCI device with
PCI bus communication with the system board (Universal Mode).
To operate in a peripheral slot in Non-Transparent mode, the
PCIe-to-PCI bridge on the CT-61 should be set to Non-Transparent
mode by programming the NT mode EEPROM map. The EEPROM
map can be downloaded from the CT-61 product page on the
ADLINK website:
http://www.adlinktech.com/PD/web/PD_detail.php?cKind=&pid=1017
To set the PCIe-to-PCI bridge on the CT-61 to NT mode, perform
the following steps:
1. Download the EERPOM map cPCI-6510_NT.rar from
the CT-61 product website under Utilities.
2. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive and extract the con-
tents of the folder cPCI-6510_NT into the root directory.
3. Insert the USB flash drive into the CT-61 in system slot
and power up the system.
4. Execute the file NT.bat to program the bridge to
Non-Transparent mode. The board will then operate in a
peripheral slot as a PCI device.
