Publication No. HRMCP9 Rev. B
3.2 Required Items
The following items are required to start the CR9 in a standard configuration.
3.2.1
Backplane and Power Supply
You will need a standard CompactPCI backplane wired into a regulated power
supply capable of providing stable low noise +5 V, +3.3 V and +12 V sources. Make
sure that the supply is capable of meeting the total power requirements of the CR9.
The CR9 features Full Hot Swap capabilities according to the PCI Hot Plug
specification PICMG 2.1. This allows orderly insertion and extraction of the board
from the system host (backplane) without having to power down the system. Please
note that this feature requires that Hot Swap functions are also available on the
Initially, you may plug the CR9 into your 6U system slot of your CPCI system.
Optionally, when used as an intelligent peripheral board, the CR9 can also be used
in a non-system slot. In case that the CR9 is used in a non-system slot you have to
have an additional CPU board in the system slot for providing system clock, arbiter
function and more. Please make sure that you do not have the power supply turned
ON when the CR9 is plugged into your backplane.
3.2.2
Keyboard and Mouse
You should have a compatible keyboard for initial system operation. Depending on
your application, this keyboard may be a standard full-travel keyboard, or one
which utilizes membrane switches for harsh environments. The miniature DIN
keyboard connector is located on the front panel and is directly compatible with
existing compliant keyboards. If your keyboard has the normal IBM PC-type
keyboard connector you will need to use a cable adapter. This cable adapter is not
delivered by Abaco, but available on the shelf.
The connector is defined for both keyboard and mouse. Abaco delivers a split
adapter cable for keyboard and mouse, which has to be ordered separately. Plug this
adapter cable ZKAAPS2SPLIT (Y form) into the keyed PS/2 connector on the front
panel, then plug the keyboard and mouse into the adapter. If the adapter is not used,
only a keyboard can be connected.
Plugging and unplugging a PS/2 keyboard or mouse while power is applied is not
recommended and can cause software failure or damage to the PS/2 device and/or
on-board circuitry. For proper function please use the split adapter delivered by
Abaco.
