ADLINK cPCI-HR6847E/M2G-1 COMPACT PCI BOARD

ADLINK cPCI-HR6847E/M2G-1 COMPACT PCI BOARD

Product Introduction / Overview

The ADLINK cPCI-HR6847E/M2G-1 (P/N: cPCI-HR6847E/M2G-1(G)-0020) is an industrial-grade, single-board computer (SBC) built on the 6U CompactPCI standard.

 Engineered by ADLINK Technology for mission-critical, high-availability environments, this board delivers high processing power, 

robust shock/vibration tolerance, and broad backplane expansion capabilities.

It is widely deployed across industrial automation, telecommunications, defense, 

rail transportation, and complex embedded computing frameworks where continuous operational stability is paramount.

Technical Parameter List

Product Features / Core Advantages

High-Reliability Architecture: Complies strictly with PICMG CompactPCI standards, utilizing Eurocard mechanics and high-density pin-and-socket connectors (IEC 61076-4-101) to prevent pin deformation during insertion.

Industrial Resistance: Built with high-grade components to survive severe shock, vibration, and thermal stress in field environments.

Advanced Hot-Swappability: Supports live insertion and removal (PICMG 2.1), allowing system upgrades and maintenance without shutting down critical control systems.

Rear I/O Expansion: Supports Rear Transition Modules (RTM) via Rear I/O connections (PICMG 2.2), reducing front-panel wiring clutter and enhancing system modularity.

Long Lifecycle Support: Designed under ADLINK's long-term embedded roadmap, providing high availability for legacy equipment replacement and long-term industrial projects.Model Classification

The cPCI-HR6847E family utilizes a structured nomenclature to define hardware configurations:

cPCI-HR6847E / [Memory Variant] - [Revision Code] ([RoHS Status]) - [Internal Part No.]

cPCI-HR6847E: Base product series (6U CompactPCI High-Reliability Processor Board).

M2G: Memory Configuration identifier (denotes onboard 2 GB RAM allocation).

-1: Specific board revision / processor frequency configuration.

(G): Green / RoHS compliant build variant.

-0020: Factory customization / BOM configuration suffix.

Environmental Tolerance Conditions

Installation Method

Safety Precaution: Always wear an Anti-Static Discharge (ESD) wrist strap grounded to the rack frame before handling the cPCI board to prevent component damage.

Power Verification: Ensure the target CompactPCI chassis power supply is operational and configured to output correct voltages on the backplane.

Guide Rail Alignment: Align the top and bottom edges of the cPCI-HR6847E/M2G-1 board with the guide rails of the designated 6U slot in the subrack.

Insertion: Slide the board smoothly into the chassis slot until the rear J1/J2 multi-pin connectors make contact with the backplane.

Locking Handle Engagement: Press down on the front injector/ejector handles simultaneously to firmly seat the board connectors into the backplane receptacle.

Secure Fastening: Tighten the front panel captive screws (top and bottom) using a Phillips screwdriver to secure the card against vibration.

Cable Connection: Attach required peripheral interface cables (Ethernet, VGA, Serial, USB) to the front panel or RTM.

Operating Instructions

Initial Boot Sequence

Ensure all front panel connections and optional Rear Transition Modules (RTM) are secure.

Apply power to the CompactPCI rack chassis.

Observe the front panel LED indicators:

PWR (Power): Solid Green indicates proper power distribution from the backplane.

SYS / RUN: Blinking/Solid Green indicates POST completion and BIOS/OS loading.

HDD/STAT: Flashes during onboard storage access.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting

Cold Reboot: If the board freezes, press the recessed RST (Reset) button on the front panel to trigger a system reset without power cycling the entire rack.

Hot Swap Removal: Pull the injector/ejector handle microswitch lever to signal the OS to unmount devices before pulling the board out of a live backplane.

Firmware & Diagnostics: Access the system BIOS by connecting a console terminal via the COM1 serial port or a USB keyboard + VGA display during bootup.
