GE Fanuc Automation VMICPCI-7806 Specifications

GE Fanuc Automation   VMICPCI-7806

Functional Characteristics

Microprocessor: The VMICPCI-7806 is based on the Pentium M

processor family.  The enhanced Pentium M processor has

1 Mbyte of L2 cache while the Celeron M has 512 Kbyte of L2

cache.  The Pentium/Celeron M processor family offers thermal

characteristics that are well suited for embedded systems

operating over a wide range of temperatures.

DRAM Memory: The VMICPCI-7806 accepts one 200-pin

SODIMM DDR module for memory configurations of 256 Mbyte,

512 Mbyte and 1 Gbyte.

BIOS: The VMICPCI-7806 System BIOS and video BIOS are

provided in reprogrammable memory.

Video Graphic Controller: High-resolution graphics and

multimedia-quality video are supported on the VMICPCI-7806

by an internal graphics controller.  A fully functional, integrated

2D/3D graphics accelerator provides pixel processing and

rendering, with display resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200

supported.  The video output is provided through the

CompactPCI connector.  Support is provided for both analog and

LVDS digital video.

NOTE: Standard video BIOS support for LVDS is for an 800 x 600

panel only. If the VMIACC-0584 back panel is not used, then the

video should be disabled via CMOS setup.

CompactFlash: The VMICPCI-7806 includes a CompactFlash

socket on the assembly. The CompactFlash may be configured

as the boot device through the BIOS boot device set up.  See the

CompactFlash ordering options for the available sizes.

IDE Interface: The VMICPCI-7806 provides an IDE interface for

hard disk drive support. The IDE interface allows support of

several types of data transfers: Programmed I/O (PIO),

8237 style DMA, Ultra ATA/33. Ultra ATA/66 and Ultra ATA/100.

NOTE: Ultra DMA IDE modes require a high performance

80 conductor cable.

Ethernet Controller: The VMICPCI-7806 provides a dual

connection for 10/100/1000BaseTX LAN using the Intel 82546EB

Ethernet controller. Two standard RJ45 connectors are provided

on the front panel with two network status indicators. Both LAN

ports supporting PICMG 2.16. Rev 1.0 are also available via the

CompactPCI backplane.

Serial ATA: The VMICPCI-7806 provides a serial ATA interface via

the CompactPCI backplane connector.

Remote Ethernet Booting: The VMICPCI-7806 utilizes an

Expansion ROM BIOS which enables processor booting from a

network server. The facility supports PXE and a variety of

network boot protocols including BOOTP and DHCP (TCP/IP).

USB Ports: The VMICPCI-7806 provides two high speed universal

serial bus (USB 2.0) ports. The ports are available on the

CompactPCI backplane connectors.

Serial Ports: The VMICPCI-7806 provides two 16550-compatible

serial ports. Each serial port has an independent 16-byte FIFO

supporting baud rates up to 115 Kbaud. Connection for one

serial port is provided by an RJ45 connector located on the front

panel. Both serial ports are available via the CompactPCI

connector.

PMC Expansion Sites: The VMICPCI-7806 provides two individual

IEEE 1386.1 PCI mezzanine card (PMC) expansion sites. This

expansion capability allows the addition of peripherals offered

for PMC applications. One PMC site is 3.3V 64-bit, 66 MHz, while

the second site is 5.0V 32-bit, 33 MHz.

Keyboard and Mouse Ports: The VMICPCI-7806 supports a PS/2

keyboard and mouse through the CompactPCI connector using

the optional VMIACC-0584 backplane adapter.

Hardware Reset: A hardware reset switch is accessible from the

front panel.

Watchdog Timer: The VMICPCI-7806 provides a software

programmable watchdog timer. The watchdog timer is enabled

under software control. Once the timer is enabled, software

must access the timer within the specified time period, or the

output of the watchdog timer will either interrupt or reset the

unit. The reset or interrupt operation is programmable.

Annunciators: Indicators for the primary IDE interface activity,

board status, power good and a blue LED for hot swap are

provided on the front panel. In addition, two indicators for the

Ethernet adapter activity are located on each RJ45 network

connector.

Thermal Management: The VMICPCI-7806 utilizes a passive

heat sink that relies on forced air cooling within the equipment

rack at the specified flow rate. Please refer to the environmental

specifications for more information.

CompactPCI Bus Bridge: The VMICPCI-7806 is a universal

CompactPCI single board computer (SBC) supporting

applications as both a system slot controller or a peripheral slot

controller. The PCI-to-PCI bridge interface to the CompactPCI

bus is automatically configured to operate as either a

transparent or non-transparent bridge. This implementation is

fully compliant with PICMG 2.0 Rev 3.0. PICMG 2.1 Rev 2.0. and

PCI-to-PCI Bridge Architecture Rev 1.1.

IPMI: The VMICPCI-7806 provides PICMG 2.9 Rev 1.5 IPMI

support via the Zircon PM Peripheral Management Controller.

High Availability Hot Swap: The VMICPCI-7806 complies with

PICMG 2.1 Rev 2.0 standard for CompactPCI hot swap. The

VMICPCI-7806 complies with the high availability provisions of

this standard. The processor may be removed and replaced

while the system is operational. Processing can automatically

be switched to a backup SBC that was previously installed in the
