Board Installation
Before installing the PowerPact6 processor, review the following warning and caution notices:
!WARNING
Do not exceed the maximum rated input voltages or apply reversed bias to the assembly.
If such conditions occur, toxic fumes may be produced due to the destruction of
components
Use extreme caution when handling, testing and adjusting this equipment. This device can
operate in an environment containing potentially dangerous voltages, capable of causing
death.
Refer to warnings contained in associated system equipment manuals before operating this
device. All warning instructions must be followed
Employ all other safety precautions that are deemed necessary for the safe operation of the
equipment in your operating environment.
Ensure that all power to the system is removed before installing any device.
"CAUTION
Before fitting your PowerPact6 processor into a CompactPCI rack, consult the
rack/enclosure documentation to ensure that the backplane power specifications are
compatible. PowerPact6 processors require power on both J1 and J2 backplane connectors.
Use of backplanes supplying power to the J1 connector alone may cause excessive current
to be drawn through the power pins.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate electromagnetic energy. It may cause or be
susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if not installed and used in an enclosure
with adequate EMI protection.
Ensure that your PowerPact6 processor receives sufficient air-flow, even when operating on
an extender card – at least 300 foot/minute for build levels 1 and 2, 600 foot/minute for build
level 3. If you need to operate a conduction-cooled (level 4 or 5) board on an extender card,
maintain airflow of at least 300 feet/minute over it.
£RECOMMENDATION
To prove operation of your PowerPact6 processor and avoid any system configuration
issues, initially fit the board into a rack or enclosure in isolation.
To prove operation of your PowerPact6 processor and avoid any board configuration
issues, use the default link configuration initially.
$ Notes:
1) Ensure that the chassis power supply is within CompactPCI Specification limits (+5V +5% -3%, +3.3V +5% -
3%) and sufficient for the PowerPact6 processor’s requirements (typically 1.9A @ 3.3V and 4.1A @ 5V for
the CP1A).
2) Although the PowerPact6 processor does not use the ±12V supply lines, it will not work without these
supplies being present. This is because the hotswap device monitors all four (5V, 3.3V, +12V, -12V) supply
rails and holds the PowerPact6 processor in reset until they are within specified tolerances. It is a
requirement for CompactPCI systems to provide ±12V anyway.
