Overview

Introduction

VMIC’s VMICPCI-7611 is a complete IBM PC/AT-compatible Pentium II/III
Embedded Module processor-based computer with the additional benefits of
Eurocard construction and full compatibility with the CompactPCI Specification
Rev. 2.1. The VMICPCI-7611 with advanced CPCI interface and SDRAM that is
dual-ported to the CPCI bus, is ideal for CPCI system controller applications.

The single-slot CPU board functions as a standard PC/AT, executing a PC/AT-type
power-on se lf-test, then boots up MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, W indows 95, W i ndows NT ,
or any other PC/AT-compatible operating system. The PC/AT mode of the
VMICPCI-7611 is discussed in Chapter 3 of this manual.

The VMICPCI-7611 also operates as a CPCI system slot CPU and interacts with other
CPCI modules via the on-board embedded bridge.

The VMICPCI-7611 also provides capabilities beyond the features of a typical PC/AT
compatible CPU including a programmable watchdog timer and a bootable flash disk
system. These features makethe unit ideal for embedded applications. These
nonstandard PC/AT functions are discussed in Chapter 4 of this manual.

Safety Summary

WARNING

The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the
operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these
precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of this product.

VMIC assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these
requirements.

Ground the System

To minimize shock hazard, the chassis and system cabinet must be connected to an
electrical ground. A three-conductor AC power cable should be used. The power
cable must either be plugged into an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used
with a three-contact to two-contact adapter with the grounding wire (green) firmly
connected to an electrical ground (safety ground) at the power outlet.

Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere

Do not operate the system in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of
any electrical system in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard.

Safety Summary

Keep Away from Live Circuits

Operating personnel must not remove product covers. Component replacement and
internal adjustments must be made by qualified maintenance personnel. Do not
replace components with power cable connected. Under certain conditions,
dangerous voltages may exist even with the power cable removed. To avoid injuries,
always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them.

Do Not Service or Adjust Alone

Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.

Do Not Substitute Parts or Modify System

Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install substitute
parts or perform any unauthorized modification to the product. Return the product to
VMIC for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.

Dangerous Procedure Warnings

Warnings, such as the example below, precede only potentially danger ous pr ocedures
throughout this manual. Instructions contained in the warnings must be followed.

Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are pr esent in this system. Use extre me
caution when handling , t es t ing, and adjusting.

VMICPCI-7611 Product Manual

CompactPCI Features

In addition to its PC/AT functions, the VMICPCI-7611 has the following CompactPCI
features:

• Single-slot, 6U height CPCI board

• C omplies fully with Revision 2.1 of the PCI Local Bus Specification

• C omplies fully with Revision 1.1 of the PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture

Specification

• Complies with Revision 2.1 of the CompactPCI Specification

read commands-up to three transactions simultaneously in each direction

• Allows 152 bytes of buffering (data and address) for upstream posted memory
write commands and 88 bytes of buffering for downstream posted memory
write commands- up to nine upstream and five downstream posted write
transactions simultaneously

• Allows 152 bytes of read data buffering upstream and 72 bytes of read data
buffering downstream

• Provides concurrent primary and secondary bus operation to isolate traffic

• Provides enhanced address decoding

• Includes addressing and VGA palette snooping support

• Supports PCI transaction forwarding for the following commands

- All I/O and memory commands

VMICPCI-7611 Product Options

VMIC’s VMICPCI-7611 is built around three fundamental hardware configurations.
These involve processor power, RAM memory, and the optional DiskOnChip flash
memory size. These options are subject to change based on emerging technologies and

availability of vendor configurations.

Introduction

This chapter describes the hardware jumper settings, connector descriptions,
installation, system setup, and operation of the VMICPCI-7611.

Unpacking Procedures

Any precautions found in the shipping container should be observed. All items
should be carefully unpacked and thoroughly inspected for damage that might have
occurred during shipment. The board(s) should be checked for broken components,
damaged printed circuit board(s), heat damage, and other visible contamination. All
claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the carrier and a complete
report sent to VMIC Customer Service together with a request for advice concerning
the disposition of the damaged item(s).

CAUTION: Some of the components assembled on VMIC’s products may be sensitive
to electrostatic discharge and damage may occur on boards that are subjected to a
high energy electrostatic field. When the board is placed on a bench for configuring,
etc., it is suggested that conductive material be inserted under the board to provide a
conductive shunt. Unused boards should be stored in the same protective boxes in
which they were shipped.

VMICPCI-7611 Product Manual

Hardware Setup

The VMICPCI-7611 is factory populated with user-specified options as part of the
VMICPCI-7611 ordering information. The CPU speed, RAM size, and flash memory
size are not user-upgradable. To change CPU speeds, RAM/flash size, contact
customer service to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA).

The VMICPCI-7611 is tested for system operation and shipped with factory-installed
header jumpers. The physical location of the jumpers and connectors for the single
board CPU are illustrated in Figure 2-1 on page 27. The definitions of the CPU board
jumpers and connectors are included in Table 2-1 through Table 2-10.

CAUTION: All jumpers are factory configured and should not be modified by the
user. There are two exceptions: the Password Clear (E3), and the Watchdog Timer
(E7). Modifying any other jumper will void the Warranty and may damage the unit.
The default jumper condition of the VMICPCI-7611 is expressed in Table 2-1 through
Table 2-10 with bold text in the table cells.

VMIC Customer Service is available at: 1-800-240-7782.

NOTE: The BIOS has the capability (not currently enabled) of password protecting

casual access to the unit’s CMOS set-up screens. The Password Clear jumper allows
for a means to clear the password feature, this might be necessary to perform in the
case of a forgotten password.

To clear the CMOS password:

1. Turn off power to the unit

2. Install a jumper at E3

3. Power up the unit

28

4. Turn off the power to the unit and remove the jumper from E3

When power is reapplied to the unit, the CMOS password will be cleared.
