Quick Start Guide XMP-SynqNet Controller

CPCI

Compact PCI (CPCI) utilizes a card-type computer chassis, having a multi-pin backplane. The main advantage is smaller sizing and simplified access to electronics. There are two sizes of the CPCI: -6U and -3U. (CPCI-3U controllers are still pending from MEI.) The CPCI-6U is the larger of the two form factors and connects to the backplane bus via the jumper connector at J1. The installation of the CPCI-6U is described below.

There are currently three types of XMP-SynqNet-CPCI controllers:

	XMP-SynqNet-CPCI-uD PN: T011-0003
	XMP-SynqNet-CPCI-RJ-CAN PN: T011-0004
	XMP-SynqNet-CPCI-Rear I/O PN: T011-0005

Remove Black Caps

Each board has two screws which have been covered with black caps in order to ensure that the screw was not lost during shipment. Remove the black caps on the screws.

Install PCB into the host machine

Push the backplane bus connector at J1 into the mating connector on the host machine.

Use the locks on both ends of the bracket to fully secure the board to the host machine. Align the bracket with the machine's frame and push the connector inwards until it snaps in place. To unlock the connector, press the red lever and push out.

For added security, use a Philips screwdriver and fasten the outer screw on each connector to the system's frame.
