Overview

The cPCI-R6700 Series is 6U CompactPCI rear transition module
(RTM) designed for use with ADLINK 6U CompactPCI CPU
blades. The cPCI-R6700 is an RTM equipped with the ATI Rad-
eon™ E4690 graphics processor unit (GPU) to provide additional
graphics performance for embedded applications and supports
comprehensive rear I/O functionality. The Radeon™ E4690 GPU
features an integrated 600 MHz engine clock, 700 MHz memory
clock, 128-bit memory interface and 512MB GDDR3 VRAM. Dual
independent display output is via two DVI-I ports and an onboard
Realtek ALC262 High Definition Audio Codec provides analog
audio output from the audio controller on the CPU blade. The
cPCI-R6700 requires a compatible 6U CompactPCI backplane
with rear I/O support and correctly configured CPU blade.

Two models are available: the cPCI-R6700 (4HP) and
cPCI-R6700D (8HP). The cPCI-R6700 is a 4HP RTM equipped
with two DVI-I ports, two GbE ports, three USB Type A ports, and
one COM port (RS-232/422/485 selectable) on the faceplate.
Onboard I/O includes one 5-pin USB pin header, one 10-pin USB
box header, one 10-pin Mic-in/Line-in/Line-out box header, one
10-pin COM box header (TX/RX only), one 10-pin PS/2 box
header and three SATA 7-pin connectors for external storage
device. The cPCI-R6700D is an 8HP RTM that provides a PS/2
keyboard/mouse Mini-DIN port on the faceplate and space to
mount a 2.5" SATA drive for onboard storage requirements.

For applications requiring reduced power consumption, the graph-
ics engine clock can be changed by VBIOS update. When the
cPCI-R6700 is used with a CPU blade that consumes over 50W of
power or under extended temperature conditions (>60°C), addi-
tional power supply must be supplied to the RTM using an auxil-
iary power cord provided in the package.
