Installation

Operation

Electrostatic discharge and incorrect board installation and removal can
damage circuits or shorten their life. Therefore:

• Before touching boards or electr onic component s, make sure that you
are working in an ESD-safe environment.

• When plugging the board in or removing it, do not press on the front
panel but use the handles.

• Before installing or removing an additional device or module, read
the respective documentation.

• Make sure that the board is connected to the CompactPCI backplane
via all assembled connectors and t hat power i s ava il able on all power
pins.

While operating the board ensure that the environmental and power
requirements are met.

Do not operate the board outside the specified environmental limits.
High humidity and condensation may cause short circuits . Make sure the
board is completely dry and there is no moisture on any surface before
applying power. Do not operate the board below 0 °C.

When operating the board in areas of electromagnetic radiation ensure
that the board is bolted on the CompactPCI system and the system is
shielded by enclosure.

Make sure that contacts and cables of the board cannot be touched while
the board is operating.

To prevent damage to the board, do not change the switch settings while
the board is operating but before board installation.

xxiv PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family

Hot Swap

Never remove the board from a syst em under hot-swap condi tions unle ss
a hot-swap or high-availability platform is used and the documentation
of all installed boards and the system documentation explicitly include
appropriate guidelines. For the hot-swap support of the board in a sys­tem slot, check the system documentation.

Removing the board from a powered system with IDE devices attached to

the board’s secondary IDE interface may result in data losses.
As long as the hot-swap LED is off, the board is in normal operation and

must not be removed.

Replacement/Expansion

Only replace or expand components or system parts with those recom­mended by Force Computers. Otherwise, you are fully responsible for
the impact on EMC and the possibly changed functionality of the prod­uct.

The total max. power consumption per PMC slot at +/–12V, 5V and 3.3V
level must not exceed 7.5W (total overall used voltages).

RJ-45 Connector

If the standard CPCI-735/HD-AccKit is installed, the operating and stor­age temperature of the board is limited by the maximum operating tem­perature of the hard dis k. If the maximu m temperature of the hard di sk is
lower than the one of the board, the maximum temperature specified for
the hard disk must not be exceeded.

An RJ-45 connector is used for both telephone and twisted-pair Ethernet
(TPE) connectors. Mismatching the two connectors may destroy your
telephone as well as the board. Therefore:

• TPE connectors near your working area have to be clearly marked as
network connectors.

• TPE bushing of the system has to be connected only to safety extra
low voltages (SELV) circuits.

• The length of the electric cable connected to a TPE bushing must not
exceed 100 meters.

If you have further questions, ask your system administrator.

PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family xxv

Board Installation Installation

Board Installation

The board carries Force Computer’s SENTINEL PCI to CPCI Universal
Bridge. With this technology the board is capable to run as System Control­ler in the CPCI system slot and as an intelligent I/O board in a peripheral
slot.

The board provides hot-swap support, i.e it may be installe d in or removed
from a powered system. This section is divided into two subsections for in­stalling the board in a non-powered system and in a powered system sup­porting hot swap.

Note: EN 55022 Class A and FCC Part 15 Class A are achieved by using
single-point grounding. If you ground the CPCI-735R2 at multiple
points, EMC problems may occur.

Due to the hot-swap capability the board has been designed to run in a 5V
Compact PCI System. A 5V key prevents the board from being installed
into an otherwise specified CompactPCI rack.

Note:

• Before installing the board install the upgrades and accessories, if
necessary (refer to “Hardware Upgrades and Accessories” page 2-7).

• If memory modules have been installed, check that a ll s ocket l ocks of
the board are closed before board installation.

Installation in a Powered System

The PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family supports full hot swap and high
availability.

The basic purpose of hot-swap support and high availability is t o all ow t he
board to be installed and removed in a powered system without adversely
affecting system operation. With hot-swap support, defective boards can be
repaired and systems can be reconfigured without stopping system opera­tion and with minimum operator interaction.

Caution Never remove the board from a system under hot-swap conditi ons unless

a hot-swap or high-availability platform is used and the documentation
of all installed boards and the system documentation explicitly include
appropriate guidelines. For the system hot-swap support of the board in
a system slot, check the system documentation.

The board is fully compliant to CompactPCI Hot Swap Specification PIC­MG 2.1 R2.0 and can run in a 5V Compact PCI System. A 5V key in connec­tor J1 prevents the board from being installed into an otherwise specified
Compact PCI rack.

PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family 2 - 19

Board Installation Installation

Signals

For information on board status concerning the hot-swap conditions, the
board provides ENUM# and HEALTHY# signals for hot-swap-controller
(HSC) notification and SENTINEL’s Control and Status registers.

After installing the board into or before removing it from a powered sys­tem, the interrupt ENUM# signal is generated and passed to the system
board of the CompactPCI system to indicate a service request. The Control
and Status registers allow to determine the source of the ENUM# signal
and to control the hot-swap LED. The HEALTHY# signal is active whenev­er all backplane and on-board voltages are within their operating range.

Control Elements

The board provides the following elements as man-machine interface:

• Hot-swap switch
Integrated in the lower handle of the front panel, it allows the user to
indicate the intention to remove the board.

Removal Procedure

Caution • Never remove the board from a system under hot-swap conditions

• Blue hot-swap LED
Indicates that you are allowed to remove the board.

Before removing the board, observe the following:

unless a hot-swap or high-availability platform is used and the docu­mentation of all installed boards and the system documentation
explicitly include appropriate guidelines. For the system hot-swap
support of the board in a system slot, check the system documenta­tion.

• Removing the board from a powered system with IDE devices
attached to the board’s secondary IDE interface may result in data
losses.

• Before touching integrated circuits, make sure that you are working
in an ESD-safe environment.

The removal procedure depends on the system the board is to be removed

BIOS

BIOS Introduction

Introduction

BIOS (Basic Input Output System) provides an interface between the oper­ating system and the hardware of the board and is used for hardware con­figuration. Before loading the operating system, BIOS performs basic
hardware tests and prepares the board for the initial boot-up procedure.
BIOS offers the following features:

• Hardware set-up utility for setting configuration data

• Multiboot for a flexible boot order

• Serial Cons ole redirection for remote board con figur ation

• Software upgrade utility

The BIOS complies to the following specifications:

• Plug and Play BIOS Specification 1.0A

• PCI BIOS Specification 2. 1

• SMBIOS Specification 2.3

• BIOS Boot Specification 1.01

• PXE 2.0

The BIOS set-up program is required to configure the hardware of the
board. This configuration is necessary for operating the board and
connected peripherals and is stored in the CMOS memory. A battery
preserves configuration data when the board is powered off.

Whenever you are not sure about configuration settings, restore the default
values. They are provided in case that a value has been changed and one
wishes to reset settings. To restore the default values, press <F9> in setup.

Note:

• Loading the BIOS default values will affect all setup items and will
reset options previously altered.

• If you set the default values, the displayed default values are not yet
stored to be effective for the next boot. They are just loaded to be dis­played. However, they become effective if the BIOS setup is exited
after changes have been saved.

PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family 4 - 3

Changing Configuration Settings BIOS

Changing Configuration Settings

When the system is turned on or rebooted, the presence and functionality
of the system components is tested by POST (Power-On Self Test).
Press <F2> while the message Press <F2> to enter SETUP appears on
the screen. The main menu appears.

Figure 25: Main Menu

Note:

• Make sure that BIOS is properly configured prior to ins talling the
operating system and its drivers.

• If you saved changes in setup, the next time the board boots BIOS
will configure the system according to the setup selections stored. If
those values cause the system boot to fail, reboot and enter setup to
get the default values or to change the se lections that caused the fail­ure. If the boot fails or is interrupted three times in a row, the default
values are then loaded automatically.

In order to navigate in setup, use the arrow keys on the keyboard to
highlight items on the menu. All other navigation possibilities are shown at
the bottom of the menu.

Additionally, an item-specific help is displayed on the right side of the
menu window.

BIOS Selecting The Boot Device

Selecting The Boot Device

There are two possibilities to determine the device from which BIOS
attempts to boot:

• Via setup to select a permanent order of boot devices

• Via boot selection menu to select any device for the next boot-up proce-

dure only

Note: BIOS does not support USB, therefore, booting from USB devices
is not possible.

Via Setup

To determine the order of boot devices in setup, proceed as follows:

1. In menu line, select [Boot]

2. Select order of devices from which BIOS attempts to boot operat­ing system

Figure 26: Boot Device Or der

If BIOS is not successful at booting from a device, it tries to boot from the
first device of the next main entry. If, for example, BIOS cannot boot from
the SanDisk SDCFB-96-(PM), it does not try to boot from the hard disk

PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family 4 - 5

Selecting The Boot Device BIOS

SAMSUNG ATA/CF-(PS) but from the first device listed under
“Removable devices”.

The same options determine the order in wh ich POST installs the devices
and the operating system assigns device letters. BIOS supports up to two
floppy devices to which the operating system may assign, e.g. drive letters
A: and B:. The drives C:, D:, E: etc. are reserved for hard-disk drives.

Note: There is not always an exact correspondence between the order
specified in setup an d the lett ers assigned by the operat ing system. M any
devices, such as legacy option ROMs, support more than one device that
can be assigned to several lett ers. If t he CD-ROM dri ve should have a le t­ter coming before the one assigned to the hard drive, move it in front of
the hard drive. The group of bootable add-in cards refers to devices with
non-multiboot-compliant BIOS option ROM from which you can boot
the operating system.

Via Boot Selection Menu

To enter the boot menu, press <ESC> during POST.

Figure 27: Boot Menu

Continue with one of the following options:
a) Override existing boot sequence by selecting another boot device from

the boot order list

Note: If the selected device does not load the operating system, BIOS re­verts to the previous boot sequence.

b) Select [Enter Setup] to enter setup utility
c) Press <Esc> to return to POST screen and continue with previous boot

sequence

BIOS Booting the Board via Network

Booting the Board via Network

By default, the possibility to boot the board via network is disabled. This is
done because the boot process takes significantly more time if network boot
is enabled.

In order to enable the possibility to boot from network, proceed as follows:

1. Turn on board

2. Press <F2> when Press <F2> to enter SETUP appears

3. Select [Advanced]

4. Select [POST Options]

5. Set [Network Option ROM] to enabled

6. Save setup

7. Reboot board

Now ETH1 and ETH2 boot devices are displayed in setup and boot
selection menu and can be selected.

PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family 4 - 7

Serial Console Redirection BIOS

Serial Console Redirection

The firmware of the board provides a serial console redirection feature.
This allows remote board configuration by connecting a terminal to the
board via a serial communication link.

The terminal can be connected to display VGA text information. Terminal
keyboard input is redirected and treated as a normal PC keyboard input.
The serial console redirection feature can be configured via setup utility.

Note: If serial console redirection is enabled the terminal represents an
option and is not necessarily required for boot-up procedure.

Requirements

For serial console redirection, the following is required:

• Terminal which supports a VT100 or ANSI mode

• Serial interface cable (part of cable accessory kit available from Force

Computers)

• Null modem adapter
Terminal emulation programs such as TeraTermPro can be used.
Before using TeraTermPro the keyboard configuration of TeraTermPro has

to be modified to guarantee that the function keys work properly. The fol­lowing function key codes have to be entered into the relevant configura­tion file:

• PF1=59

• PF2=60

The respective key codes can be found with the keycode.exe utility of the
TeraTerm software package. The required modifications are described in
detail in the TeraTerm help files.

Serial console redirection does not necessarily require a VGA card to be
present. If no VGA card is present, on-board SRAM memory is used as
video buffer.

The PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family is equipped with t wo Intel 8 2559ER
10Base-T/100Base-T Ethernet controllers, LAN#1 and LAN#2, which are
able to operate in either full duplex or half duplex mode.

The Ethernet interface is available depending on the variant of the
PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family board:

Table 12: Ethernet Interface

Board Variant Ethernet Available

CPCI-735R2 Via CompactPCI connector J5 (transformer on rear transition board)
CPCI-735AR2 Via front panel (transformer on CPCI-735AR2)
CPCI-736R2 Via CompactPCI Connector J3 (PICMG 2.16) (transformer on CPCI-

736R2)

Two LEDs at the front panel of the CPCI-735R2, designated as ETH1 and
ETH2, indicate Ethernet link and activity.

PMC2

The PMC 2 interface is a 5V compliant PCI interface with its I/O signals
routed towards CPCI I/O Connector J4.

Note: The space of the PMC 2 I/O connector is used for the Ethernet
transformers to support PICMG 2.16 on CPCI-736R2 boards. Therefore,
the PMC 2 Interface on CPCI-736R2 boards doe s not fully comply to PM C
specifications and can only carry PMC modules without PMC I/O con­nector assembled.

SENTINEL

Force Computers SENTINEL is used as PCI-to-CompactPCI universal
bridge that enables the board to work as either CompactPCI system (host)
or peripheral board.

SENTINEL is capable to run in either 3.3V or 5V VIO environment. Howev­er, hot-swap requirements for the 3.3V environment differ from require­ments for the 5V environment. The PENT/CPCI-735R2/736R2 Family
boards are designed for 5V CompactPCI systems only. For further informa­tion, refer to “Installation in a Powered System” page 2-19.

The table below lists all fields in the SPROM of the SENTINEL, the contents
loaded into the registers at power up.

Note: Invalid SPROM contents may cause malfunction of the board.
