Baseboard Preparation

This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need to be performed
prior to installing the board in a CompactPCI or PICMG 2.9 compliant chassis.

2.5.1

Configuring the Hardware

To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the CPCI-6115, you may
need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.

Most options on the CPCI-6115 are software configurable. Configuration changes are made by
setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system. The control registers are
described in the CPCI-6115 CompactPCI Single Board Computer Programmer's Reference
Guide
, and other vendor publications.

Jumpers are used to control those options that are not software configurable. These jumper
settings are described further on in this section.
