1 Introduction
This chapter provides an introduction to the CPB-4612 including a product definition, a list of product features, and a functional block diagram with descriptions of each block.
The "cPB-4612 Faceplate" illustration identifies the connectors, indicators, and switches available on the cPB-4612's faceplate. Optional rear-panel transition boards are available to extend various faceplate features to a system's rear-panel. For more information about compatible rear-panel transition boards, see Appendix F.
The CPB-4612 is a 64-bit compliant CompactPCI Pentium M single board computer designed to operate in either a system slot or a peripheral slot. The cPB-4612 provides Ethernet integration using the Intel 82559 10/100 Base-T PCI Ethernet controller and the Intel 82546EB Fast Gigabit Ethernet Multifunction PCI Controller. The CPB4612 provides support for IDE hard drives, serial ports, and USB ports. I/O connections are available at the rear of the chassis using one of DTI’s cRT4612 rear-panel I/O modules. The CPB-4612 is fully compliant with both the CompactPCI standard and the PICMG 2.16 packet switching standard.
