2.1.3815-B0 Chipset Overview
The Intel815-B0 chipset consists of the following devices:
• 815-B0 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) with Accelerated Hub Architecture (AHA) bus
• 82801 I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
• Firmware Hub (FWH)
The GMCH provides the processor interface for the Celeron microprocessor, the memory bus
and includes a graphics accelerator. The ICH4 is a centralized controller for the boards’ I/O peripherals, such as the PCI, USB 2.0, and EIDE ports. The Firmware Hub (FWH) provides the
non-volatile storage for the BIOS.
The 815-B0 Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) is a highly integrated hub that provides
the CPU interface, the SDRAM system memory interface, a hub link interface to the ICH4 and
an internal graphics.
Graphics and Memory Controller Hub Feature Set
Host Interface
The 815-B0 is optimized for the Intel
sor Side Bus (PSB) frequency of up to 133 MHz using 1.25 V AGTL signalling. Single-ended
AGTL termination is supported for single-processor configurations. The AGTL bus supports
32-bit host addressing for decoding up to 4 GB memory address space.
System Memory Interface
The 815-B0 integrates a system memory SDRAM controller with a 64-bit wide interface without
ECC. The chipset supports Single Data Rate (SDR) SDRAM for system memory with 64 Mbit,
128 Mbit, 256 Mbit and 512 Mbit SDRAM devices.
815-B0 Graphics Controller
The 815-B0 includes a highly integrated graphics accelerator decoding delivering high performance 3D and 2D video capabilities. The internal graphics controller provides interfaces for a
standard progressive scan monitor, TV-Out device, and TMDS transmitter. These interfaces
are only active when running in internal graphics mode.
The advantage of the internal graphics solution is the price, the integration reduces the number
of the components and design complexity.
The disadvantage of the internal graphics controller is the shared memory architecture, which
results in a lower memory performance for the processor. To avoid memory conflicts with the
processor, the maximum VGA resolution is limited to 1600 x 1200 pixel with 256 colors and
60 Hz.
Celeron microprocessor. The chipset supports a Proces-
2.1.5I/O Controller Hub ICH4
The ICH4 is a highly integrated multifunctional I/O Controller Hub that provides the interface to
the PCI Bus, and integrates many of the functions needed in today's PC platforms, such as Ultra DMA 100/33 controller, USB host controller supporting USB 2.0, LPC interface and FWH
Flash BIOS interface controller. The ICH4 communicates with the host controller over a dedicated hub interface.
The I/O Controller Hub Feature set comprises:
• PCI 2.2 interface with 32-bit/33 MHz and eight IRQ inputs
The following standard peripherals are available on the CP6500-V board:
2.2.1Timer
The CP6500-V is equipped with the following timers:
• Real-time clock
The ICH4 contains a MC146818A compatible real-time clock with 256 bytes of batterybacked RAM.
The real-time clock performs timekeeping functions and includes 256 bytes of general
purpose battery-backed CMOS RAM. Features include an alarm function, programmable
periodic interrupt and a 100-year calendar. All battery-backed CMOS RAM data remains
stored in an additional EEPROM. This prevents data loss.
• Counter/Timer
Three 8254-style counter/timers are included on the CP6500-V as defined for the PC/AT.
2.2.2Watchdog Timer
A watchdog timer is provided, which forces either an IRQ5, NMI, or Reset condition
(configurable in the watchdog register). The watchdog time can be programmed in 12 steps
ranging from 125 msec up to 256 seconds. If the watchdog timer is enabled, it cannot be
stopped.
2.2.3Battery
The CP6500-V is provided with a 3.0 V “coin cell” lithium battery for the RTC.
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
• Turn off power
• Remove the battery
• Place the new battery in the socket.
• Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round. The plus pole must be on the
top!
The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended
by the manufacturer. Suitable batteries include the VARTA CR2025 and PANASONIC
P R E L I M I N A R Y
BR2020.
Note ...
Care must be taken to ensure that the battery is correctly replaced.
The battery should be replaced only with an identical or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The typical life expectancy of a 170 mAh battery (VARTA CR2025) is 5 - 6
years with an average on-time of 8 hours per working day at an operating
temperature of 30°C. However, this typical value varies considerably because
the life expectancy is dependent on the operating temperature and the
standby time (shutdown time) of the system in which it operates.
To ensure that the lifetime of the battery has not been exceeded, it is recommended to exchange the battery after 4 - 5 years.
The CP6500-V is automatically reset by a precision voltage monitoring circuit that detects a
drop in voltage below the acceptable operating limit of 4.85 V for the 5 V line and below 500 mV
for the 3.3 V line, or in the event of a power failure of the DC/DC converter. Other reset sources
include the watchdog timer and the push-button switch on the front panel. The CP6500-V
responds to any of these sources by initializing local peripherals.
A reset will be generated under the following conditions:
• +5 V supply falls below 4.68 V (typ.)
• +3.3 V supply falls below 3.09 V (typ.)
• Power failure of all onboard DC/DC converters
• Push-button "RESET" pressed
• Watchdog overflow
• CompactPCI backplane PRST input
2.2.5SMBus Devices
The CP6500-V provides a System Management Bus (SMBus) for access to several system
monitoring and configuration functions. The SM Bus consists of a two-wire I²C bus interface.

2.2.9Front Panel LEDs
The CP6500-V is equipped with two LEDs for watchdog (WD) and overtemperature (TH), eight
LEDs for general purpose or POST code (four LEDs for Front-I and four LEDs for Front-II), and
one LED for hot swap. Their functionality is described in the following chapters.
The CP6500-V provides two front LEDs for Overtemperature (TH) and Watchdog (WD) status.
Additionally, if the TH LED remains on during bootup, it indicates a power failure, and if the WD
LED remains on during bootup, it indicates a PCI reset is active. In this case, check the power
supply. If the power supply appears to be functional and this LED remains on, contact Kontron
Modular Computers’ Technical Support.
2.2.9.2Front-I and Front-II General Purpose LEDs
These are two sets of General Purpose LEDs available on the front panel of the CP6500-V
which are designed to indicate the boot-up POST code if required or are available to the application as general purpose LEDs. To indicate POST code, J22 must be set. For general purpose
use, J22 must not be set. Together Front-I and Front-II indicate a two-place hexadecimal number. Front-II is the lower nibble, Front-I is the higher nibble. An one is indicated by a lit LED.
The LSB is 0, the MSB is 7. Default setting is general purpose and all LEDs not lit.
2.2.9.3Hot Swap LED
On the CP6500-V, a blue HS LED can be switched on or off by software. It may be used, for
example, to indicate that the shutdown process is finished and the board is ready for extraction.
2.2.10Keyboard/Mouse Interface
The onboard keyboard controller is 8042 software compatible.
The keyboard and mouse port is routed to the CompactPCI rear I/O interface. There is no front
I/O connector available. To connect a keyboard, a separate onboard connector is available.
The mouse port is only available on the CompactPCI rear I/O interface.
The CP6500-V has a 5-pin male pinrow connector J22 for the keyboard interface.

The following table provides the pinout for the keyboard connector J22.
The CP6500-V supports four USB 2.0 ports (two on the front I/O and two on the rear I/O). On
the two rear I/O ports it is strongly recommended to use a cable below 3 metres in length for
USB 2.0 devices. All four ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. High-speed
USB 2.0 allows data transfers of up to 480 Mb/s - 40 times faster than a full-speed USB
(USB 1.1).
One USB peripheral may be connected to each port. To connect more than four USB devices
an external hub is required.
The USB power supply provides 500 mA continuous load current and 900 mA short-circuit
protection.

The USB power supply to the USB connector provides a 500 mA continuous
load current and 900 mA short-circuit protection. All the signal lines are EMI filtered.
The 815-B0 includes an integrated graphics accelerator delivering high performance 3D, 2D
video capabilities. The internal graphics controller provides interfaces to a standard
progressive scan monitor. This interface is only active when running in internal graphics mode.
Integrated 2D/3D Graphics:
• 3D hyperpipelined architecture
• Full 2D hardware acceleration
• Intel 815-B0 D.V.M. Technology graphics core
• Integrated 230 MHz DAC
• Resolution up to 1600 x 1200 @ 75 Hz with 8 bits
• Integrated H/W Motion Compensation engines for software MPEG2 decode
2.2.12.1Video Memory Usage
The 815-B0 chipset supports the new Dynamic Video Memory Technology (D.V.M.T.). This new
technology ensures the most efficient use of all available memory for maximum 3D graphics
performance. D.V.M.T. dynamically responds to application requirements allocating display
and texturing memory resources as required.
The operating system requires a minimum of 1 MB and a maximum of 6 MB of system memory
to support legacy VGA. System properties will display up to 6MB less than physical system
memory available to the operating system.
The graphics driver for the Intel 815-B0 configuration will request up to 6 MB of memory from
the OS. By reallocating memory to the system, memory is freed up for other applications when
not needed by the graphics subsystem. Thus, efficient memory usage is ensured for optimal
graphics and system memory performance.
One PC compatible serial 9-pin, D-SUB port is available, which is fully compatible with the
16550 controller and includes a complete set of handshaking and modem control signals,
maskable interrupt generation and data transfer of up to 460.8 kB/s.

The COM interface may be configured as either RS232 or RS422 by setting the appropriate
solder jumpers. The standard setting of the COM port envisages the RS232 configuration.
RS422 configuration:
The RS422 interface uses two differential data lines RX and TX for communication (Full-Duplex).
The following table provides the pinout for the serial port connector J9, which depends on the
interface configuration.

The onboard floppy disk controller supports either 5.25 inch or 3.5 inch (1.44 or 2.88 MB) floppy
disks. The floppy disk port is only available on the CompactPCI rear I/O interface.
2.2.15Fast Ethernet
The CP6500-V board includes two 10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet ports based on the
Intel 82551ER Fast Ethernet PCI Controller, which is connected the PCI interface.
The Intel 82551ER Fast Ethernet Controller architecture is optimized to deliver high performance with the lowest power consumption. The controller's architecture includes independent
transmit and receive queues to limit PCI bus traffic.
The Boot from LAN feature is supported.

2.2.16EIDE Interfaces
The EIDE interfaces support the following modes:
• Programmed I/O (PIO): CPU controls data transfer.
• 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the CPU, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec.
• Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer
rates of up to 33 MB/sec.
• ATA-100: DMA protocol on IDE bus allows host and target throttling. The ICH4 ATA-100
logic can achieve read transfer rates of up to 100 MB/sec and write transfer rates up to
88 MB/sec.
Note ...
Due to the high transfer rate of ATA-100, a specialized cable which has
additional grounding wires to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling
is required. This cable will also support all legacy IDE drives.
There are two independent EIDE ports available. The primary port is connected to the 44-pin,
2-row male connector, J19, and to the onboard CompactFlash socket, J14. The secondary
EIDE interface is a 40-pin, 2-row male connector, J20, AT standard interface for an EIDE hard
disk. This interface is also available at rear I/O.
The onboard 2.5" HDD can be installed on the 44-pin connector.
Each EIDE interface provides support for two devices (one master and one slave) and the two
EIDE interfaces together support a maximum of 4 devices. All hard disks can be used in
cylinder head sector (CHS) mode with the BIOS also supporting the logical block addressing
(LBA) mode.
A 2.5” hard disk or Flash disk may be mounted directly onto the CP6500-V board using the optional 44-pin connector J19. The maximum length of the cable that may be used is 35 cm.
The following table sets out the pinout of the J20 connector, giving the corresponding signal

2.2.17Extension Connector J12
The I/O extension connector provides cost-effective, flexible configuration options. To provide
flexible configuration of additional low speed PC devices, e.g. Super I/O, or CAN controller, the
LPC port is connected to the I/O extension connector. The I/O extension interface contains all
the signals necessary to connect up to two LPC devices.
For flexible and easy configuration one onboard PMC socket is available. The Jn1 and Jn2 and
Jn4 connectors provide the signals for the 32-bit PCI Bus. The PMC port supports 33 MHz. The
Jn3 connector is for the 64-bit CompactPCI bus and is not populated. User defined I/O signals
are supported (Jn4) and are connected to the CompactPCI rear I/O connector J4.
This interface has been designed to comply with the IEEEP1386.1 specification which defines
a PCI electrical interface for the CMC (Common Mezzanine Card) form factor. The CP6500-V
provides 3.3V and 5 V (default) PMC PCI signaling environment.
The CP6500-V supports a flexibly configurable, hot swap CompactPCI interface. In the System
Master slot the interface is in the transparent mode, and in the peripheral slot the CompactPCI
interface is isolated so that it cannot communicate with the CompactPCI bus. This mode is
known as "passive mode".
2.2.19.1System Master Configuration
In a system slot, the CP6500-V can communicate with all other CompactPCI boards through a
32-bit/3MHz interface.
The CP6500-V supports up to seven CompactPCI loads through a passive backplane.
The CP6500-V is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.2 for 32-bit/
33 MHz.
2.2.19.2PCI-to-PCI Bridge
The Texas Instruments® PCI2050BI bridge is a 32-bit 33 MHz PCI-to-PCI bridge device. It supports up to seven CompactPCI loads through a passive backplane.
The PCI2050I is a second generation PCI-to-PCI bridge and is fully compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification Rev. 2.2.
The PCI-to-PCI bridge allows the primary and secondary PCI bus to operate concurrently. A
master and target on the same PCI bus can communicate while the other PCI bus is busy.
In a peripheral slot, the board receives power but does not communicate on the CompactPCI
bus; all CompactPCI signals are isolated.
In this configuration, the communication is achieved via the two Fast Ethernet ports as defined
in the PICMG 2.16 specification. In the passive mode, the board may be hot-swapped.
2.2.19.4Packet Switching Backplane (PICMG 2.16)
The CP6500-V supports a dual Fast Ethernet link port (Node) on the J6 connector in accordance with the CompactPCI Packet Switching Backplane Specification PICMG 2.16, Version
1.0. The two nodes are connected in the chassis via the CompactPCI Packet Switching back-
P R E L I M I N A R Y
plane to the Fabric slots "A" and "B".
The PICMG 2.16 feature can be used in the system slot and in the peripheral slot.
2.2.19.5Hot Swap Support
To ensure that a board may be removed and replaced in a working bus without disturbing the
system, the following additional features are required:
• Power ramping
• Precharge
• Hot swap control and status register bits
• Automatic interrupt generation whenever a board is about to be removed or replaced
• An LED to indicate that the board may be safely removed
On the CP6500-V a special hot swap controller is used to ramp up the onboard supply voltage.
This is done to avoid transients on the +3.3V, +5V, +12V and -12V power supplies from the hot
swap system. When the power supply is stable, the hot swap controller generates an onboard
reset to put the board into a definite state.
2.2.19.7Precharge
Precharge is provided on the CP6500-V by a resistor on each signal line (PCI bus), connected
to a +1V reference voltage.
2.2.19.8Handle Switch
A microswitch is situated in the extractor handle. Opening the handle initiates the generation
of a local interrupt (produced by the onboard logic). The microswitch is routed to J11 on the
board.
2.2.19.9ENUM# Interrupt
The onboard logic generates a low active interrupt signal to indicate that the board is about to
be extracted from the system or inserted into the system. This interrupt is only generated in the
peripheral master configuration. In system master configuration the ENUM signal is an input.
2.2.19.10 Hot Swap LED
On the CP6500-V a blue HS LED can be switched on or off by software. It may be used, for
example, to indicate that the shutdown process is finished and the board is ready for extraction.
The complete CompactPCI connector configuration comprises five
connectors named J1 to J5. Their functions are as follows:
22
• J1/J2: 32-bit CompactPCI interface with PCI bus signals, arbitration, clock and power
• J3, J4 and J5 have rear I/O interface functionality
• J4 only has optional rear I/O functionality from the PMC module
The CP6500-V is designed for a CompactPCI bus architecture. The
CompactPCI standard is electrically identical to the PCI local bus.
However, these systems are enhanced to operate in rugged industrial
environments and to support multiple slots.
2.2.20.1CompactPCI Connector Keying
CompactPCI connectors support guide lugs to ensure a correct polarized mating. A proper mating is further assured by the use of color
coded keys for 3.3V and 5V operation.
Color coded keys prevent inadvertent installation of a 5V peripheral
board into a 3.3V slot. The CP6500-V board is a 5V version. Backplane connectors are always keyed according to the signaling (VIO)
level. Coding key colors on J1 are defined as follows:

2.2.20.3CompactPCI Rear I/O Connectors J3-J5 and Pinouts
The CP6500-V conducts all I/O signals through the rear I/O connectors J3, J4 and J5. The
CP6500-V board provides optional rear I/O connectivity for peripherals for special compact
systems. All standard PC interfaces are implemented and assigned to the front panel and to
the rear I/O connectors J3, and J5.
When the rear I/O module is used, the signals of some of the main board/front panel connectors
are routed to the module interface. Thus the rear I/O module makes it much easier to remove
the CPU in the rack as there is practically no cabling on the CPU board.
For the system rear I/O feature a special backplane is necessary. The CP6500-V with rear I/O
is compatible with all standard 6U CompactPCI passive backplanes with rear I/O support on
the system slot.
The CP6500-V conducts all I/O signals through the rear I/O connectors J3, J4 and J5.

Rear I/O interfaces are only available on the rear I/O version of the board.
Ethernet Interfaces
Fast Ethernet signals are available on the rear I/O interface (PICMG 2.16 pinout).
VGA CRT Interface
The VGA signals are available on both rear I/O and front I/O. The 75 ohm termination resistor
for the red, green and blue video signals are equipped on the CP6500-V.
To enable the rear I/O VGA port, configure the jumper J17.
Note ...
Both VGA ports are electrically identical and can be switched between front and
rear by configuring jumper J17 (open = front; closed = rear).
Serial Interfaces COM1 and COM2
Only one interface may be used (rear I/O or front I/O) for COM 1.
Note ...
Previous boards such as CP604 and CP605 used TTL signaling voltage for the
COM1 and COM2 rear I/O interfaces. Due to a new common Kontron rear I/O
pinout, the COM1 and COM2 ports can now be configured as RS232, RS422
and RS485 ports. Thus, neither RS232, RS424 nor RS485 buffers are now
required on the rear I/O. The signals can be connected directly to the D-SUB
connector.
Keyboard/Mouse Interface
The keyboard interface is available onboard and via the rear I/O. The combination of the onboard and the rear I/O is not supported. The mouse interface is only available via the rear I/O.
USB Interface
Two USB interfaces are available via the rear I/O. The USB power comes from the baseboard
and it is protected by a self-resettable fuse.
Secondary EIDE Interface
Only one EIDE connector may be used at any one time through the same port; connecting both
EIDE devices to the CP6500-V baseboard and the rear I/O simultaneously will result in malfunction and data loss.

also be used on the CP6500-V.
The CP6500-V has been designed for easy installation. However, the following standard precautions, installation procedures, and general information must be observed to ensure proper
installation and to preclude damage to the board, other system components, or injury to personnel.
3.1Safety Requirements
The following safety precautions must be observed when installing or operating the CP6500V. Kontron assumes no responsibility for any damage resulting from failure to comply with
these requirements.
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that the
heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when installing or
removing the board.
In addition, the board should not be placed on any surface or in any form of
storage container until such time as the board and heat sink have cooled down
to room temperature.
Caution!
If your board type is not specifically qualified as being hot swap capable,
switch off the CompactPCI system power before installing the board in a free
CompactPCI slot. Failure to do so could endanger your life or health and may
damage your board or system.
Note ...
Certain CompactPCI boards require bus master and/or rear I/O capability. If
you are in doubt whether such features are required for the board you intend
to install, please check your specific board and/or system documentation to
make sure that your system is provided with an appropriate free slot in which
to insert the board.

1. Ensure that no power is applied to the system before proceeding.
Warning!
When performing the next step, DO NOT push the board into the backplane connectors. Use the ejector handles to seat the board into the
backplane connectors.
P R E L I M I N A R Y
2. Carefully insert the board into the slot designated by the application requirements for
the board until it makes contact with the backplane connectors.
3. Using both ejector handles, engage the board with the backplane. When the ejector
handles are locked, the board is engaged.
4. Fasten the two front panel retaining screws.
5. Connect all external interfacing cables to the board as required.
6. Ensure that the board and all required interfacing cables are properly secured.
4. The CP6500-V is now ready for operation. For operation of the CP6500-V, refer to appropriate CP6500-V specific software, application, and system documentation.
1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in Chapter 3.1 are observed. Particular attention must be paid to the warning regarding the heat sink!
Warning!
Care must be taken when applying the procedures below to ensure that
neither the CP6500-V nor system boards are physically damaged by the
application of these procedures.
2. Ensure that no power is applied to the system before proceeding.
3. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the board.
4. Unscrew the front panel retaining screws.
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that
the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when changing
the board.
5. Disengage the board from the backplane by first unlocking the board ejection handles
and then by pressing the handles as required until the board is disengaged.
6. After disengaging the board from the backplane, pull the board out of the slot.
7. Dispose of the board as required.
3.4Hot Swap Procedures
The CP6500-V is designed for hot swap operation. When installed in the system slot it is capable of supporting peripheral board hot swapping. When installed in a peripheral slot, its hot
swap capabilities depend on the type of backplane in use and the system controller’s capabilities. The reason for this being that communications with the system controller requires either
front panel Ethernet I/O or use of a packet switching backplane. In any event, hot swap is also
a function of the application running on the CP6500-V.
3.4.1System Master Hot Swap
Hot swapping of the CP6500-V itself when used as the system controller is possible, but will
result in any event in a cold start of the CP6500-V and consequently a reinitialization of all peripheral boards. Exactly what transpires in such a situation is a function of the application and
is not addressed in this manual. The user must refer to appropriate application documentation
for applicable procedures for this case. In any event, the safety requirements above must be
observed.
This procedure assumes that the board to be hot swapped has undergone an initial board installation and is already installed in an operating system, and that the system supports hot
swapping of the board.
To hot swap the CP6500-V proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the safety requirements indicated in Chapter 3.1 are observed. Particular attention must be paid to the warning regarding the heat sink!
Warning!
Care must be taken when applying the procedures below to ensure that
neither the CP6500-V nor other system boards are physically damaged
by the application of these procedures.
2. Unlock both board ejection handles ensuring that the bottom handle has activated the hot
swap switch (this occurs with a very small amount of movement of the handle).
Note ...
What transpires at this time is a function of the application. If hot swap is
supported by the application, then the blue HS LED should light up after a
short time period. This indicates that the system has recognized that the
CP6500-V is to be hot swapped and now indicates to the operator that hot
swapping of the CP6500-V may proceed.
If the blue HS LED does not light up after a short time period, either the
system does not support hot swap or a malfunction has occurred. In this
event, the application is responsible for handling this situation and must
provide the operator with appropriate guidance to remedy the situation.
3. After approximately 1 to 15 seconds, the blue HS LED should light up. If the LED lights
up, proceed with the next step of this procedure. If the LED does not light up, refer to appropriate application documentation for further action.
4. Disconnect any interfacing cables that may be connected to the board.
5. Unscrew the front panel retaining screws.
P R E L I M I N A R Y
Warning!
Due care should be exercised when handling the board due to the fact that
the heat sink can get very hot. Do not touch the heat sink when changing
the board.
6. Using the ejector handles, disengage the board from the backplane and carefully remove
it from the system.
7. Dispose of the “old” board as required observing the safety requirements indicated in
Chapter 3.1.
When performing the next step, DO NOT push the board into the backplane connectors. Use the ejector handles to seat the board into the backplane connectors.
9. Carefully insert the “new” board into the “old” board slot until it makes contact with the
backplane connectors.
10. Using both ejector handles, engage the board with the backplane. When the ejector handles are locked, the board is engaged.
11. Fasten the front panel retaining screws.
12. Connect all required interfacing cables to the board. Hot swap of the CP6500-V is now
complete.
3.5Installation of CP6500-V Peripheral Devices
The CP6500-V is designed to accommodate a variety of peripheral devices whose installation
varies considerably. The following chapters provide information regarding installation aspects
and not detailed procedures.
3.5.1CompactFlash Installation
The CompactFlash socket supports CompactFlash ATA cards type I and II with 5 V (default) or
3.3 V.
Note ...
The CP6500-V does not support removal and reinsertion of the CompactFlash
storage card while the board is in a powered-up state. Connecting the CompactFlash cards while the power is on, which is known as "hot plugging", may
damage your system.
3.5.2USB Device Installation
The CP6500-V supports all USB Plug and Play computer peripherals (e.g. keyboard, mouse,
printer, etc.).
Note ...
All USB devices may be connected or removed while the host or other
peripherals are powered up.
To ensure proper functioning of the rear I/O VGA interface, the jumpers on the CP6500-V must
be configured for the rear I/O. See Chapter 4 for configuration details.
For physical installation of rear I/O devices, refer to the documentation provided with the device
itself.
Note ...
It is strongly recommended to use COM1 only on the front or rear I/O panel.
3.5.4Battery Replacement
The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery type recommended
by the manufacturer. Suitable batteries include the VARTA CR2025 and PANASONIC
BR2020.
Note ...
Care must be taken to ensure that the battery is correctly replaced.
The battery should be replaced only with an identical or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The typical life expectancy of a 170 mAh battery (VARTA CR2025) is 5 - 6
years with an average on-time of 8 hours per working day at an operating
temperature of 30°C. However, this typical value varies considerably because
the life expectancy is dependent on the operating temperature and the
standby time (shutdown time) of the system in which it operates.
To ensure that the lifetime of the battery has not been exceeded it is
recommended to exchange the battery after 4 - 5 years.
3.5.5Hard Disk Installation
The following information pertains to hard disks which may be connected to the CP6500-V via
normal cabling. To install a hard disk, it is necessary to perform the following operations in the
P R E L I M I N A R Y
given order:
1. Install the hardware.
Warning!
The incorrect connection of power or data cables may damage your hard disk
unit and/or CP6500-V board.
Due to the high transfer rate of ATA-100, a specialized cable which has
additional grounding wires to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling
is required This cable will also support all legacy IDE drives.
The blue end of the ATA-100 cable must connect to the motherboard, the gray
connector to the UltraDMA/100 slave device, and the black connector to the
UltraDMA/100 master device.
Some symptoms of incorrectly installed HDDs are:
• Hard disk drives are not auto-detected: may be a Master / Slave problem or a
bad IDE cable. Contact your vendor.
• Hard Disk Drive Fail message at boot-up: may be a bad cable or lack of
power going to the drive.
• No video on boot-up: usually means the cable is installed backwards.
• Hard drive lights are constantly on: usually means bad IDE cable or defective
drives / motherboard. Try another HDD.
• Hard drives do not power up: check power cables and cabling. May also
result from a bad power supply or IDE drive.
Note ...
A 2.5" HDD can be directly installed only on the standard CP6500-V.
2. Initialize the software necessary to run the chosen operating system.
3.6Software Installation
The installation of the Ethernet and all other onboard peripheral drivers is described in detail in
the relevant Driver Kit files.
Installation of an operating system is a function of the OS software and is not addressed in this
manual. Refer to appropriate OS software documentation for installation.
Note ...
Users working with pre-configured operating system installation images for
Plug and Play compliant operating systems, for example Windows® 95/98/ME,
Windows® 2000, Windows® XP, Windows® XP Embedded, must take into consideration that the stepping and revision ID of the chipset and/or other onboard
PCI devices may change. Thus, a re-configuration of the operating system installation image deployed for a previous chipset stepping or revision ID is in
most cases required. The corresponding operating system will detect new devices according to the Plug and Play configuration rules.

The following registers are special registers which the CP6500-V uses to watch the onboard
hardware special features and the CompactPCI control signals.
Normally, only the system BIOS uses these registers, but they are documented here for
application use as required.
Note ...
Take care when modifying the contents of these registers as the system BIOS
may be relying on the state of the bits under its control.
4.5.1Watchdog
The CP6500-V has one watchdog timer. This timer is provided with a programmable timeout
ranging from 125 msec to 256 sec. Failure to strobe the watchdog timer within a set time period
results in a system reset, NMI or an interrupt. This can be configured via the 0x284 register.
To enable the watchdog, bit ”4” of the 0x282 register must be set. If the watchdog is enabled
via bit ”4”, this bit cannot be cleared later.
With a write access to the 0x280 register the watchdog is retriggered. Once the watchdog is
enabled, it must be continuously strobed within the terminal count period to avoid resetting the
system hardware.
The watchdog can be configured in several modes, one of which is the dual stage
configuration. If the NMI and the reset configuration bits are set (0x284 = 0x84), the watchdog
has two stages. The first stage timeout generates an NMI interrupt. If the NMI handler does not
reconfigure the watchdog, the watchdog switches to the second stage and generates a master
reset after the configured timeout elapses.
4.5.2Watchdog Trigger
A write access triggers the watchdog.
The I/O location for the watchdog trigger is 0x280.
The interrupt configuration register holds a series of bits defining the interrupt routing for the
watchdog, the power control derate signal and the CompactPCI enumeration signal. If the
watchdog timer fails, it can generate three independent hardware events: reset, NMI and IRQ5
interrupt.
The enumeration signal is generated by a hot swap compatible board after insertion and prior
to removal. The system uses this interrupt signal to force software to configure the new board.
The derate signal indicates that the power supply is beginning to derate its power output.
To enable the dual stage watchdog, the NMI and the reset bits must be set. At
the first stage the watchdog generates an NMI, and at the second stage the
system will be reset.
The CPCI master reset register describes the routing of the reset signal from the CompactPCI
interface to the local reset controller if the board is installed in a peripheral slot. If the board is
installed in a system slot, the reset is always an output. If the reset is disabled, the CP6500-V
ignores the reset signal from the CompactPCI interface.

is an output of the power supply and indicates a power supply failure. For the description of the
derate and enumeration signals, please see the interrupt routing register.
