Hardware Reference
3.4 Console Serial Port
The console serial port on the IQ80960RM/RN platform, based on a 16C550 UART, is capable of
operation from 300 to 115,200 bps. The port is connected to a phone jack-style plug on the
IQ80960RM/RN platform. The DB25 to RJ-45 cable included with the IQ80960RM/RN can be
used to connect the console port to any standard RS-232 port on the host syste m.
The UART on the IQ80960RM/RN platform is clocked with a 1.843 MHz clock, and may be
programmed to use this clock with its internal baud rate counte rs. The UART register addresses are
shown in Ta ble 3- 5; refer to the 16C550 device data book for a detailed description of the registers
and device operation. Note that some UART addresses refer to different registers depending on
whether a read or a write is being performed.
3.5 Secondary PCI Bus Expansion Connectors
Four PCI Expansion Slots are available on the IQ80960RM/RN platform. Th e IQ80960RM
supports 32-bit PCI expansion and the IQ80960RN supports 64-bit PCI expa nsion. The slots are
designed for +5V PCI signalling and accommodate PCI cards with +5V or universal sign alling
capabilities.

3.5.1 PCI Slots Power Availability

Power from the Primary PCI bus, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, and –12V, is routed to the Secondary PCI bus
expansion slots. +3.3V is only available at the secondary PCI slots if the host system makes +3.3V
available on the Primary PCI slots. LED CR5 indicates if thi s power is available.
