The CC0-CHILLOUT communicates to the
host CPU by means of the LPC interface. This
is a multiplexed ISA bus, enabling the super-
I/O controller chip to emulate the legacy I/O
interfaces. Among these are parallel and
serial ports, the PS/2 interfaces, and last not
least the classic 1.4/2.8MB floppy disk
controller. As an option, the CC0-CHILLOUT
provides MIDI and gameport attachment,
and control outputs for fans with either
tachometer output or pulse width
modulation input.
By connecting the boards together, the hosts
ATA/IDE interface is also available on the
CC0-CHILLOUT. Optionally, the board is
equipped with a robust 2.5-inch hard disk
drive, particularly suited for use in a rugged
environment.
The CC0-CHILLOUT can be mounted either
on the left (bottom) side of the CPU board,
or right (top) side. Specify your actual needs
when ordering the unit.
Most of the functions of the CC0-CHILLOUT
are available for rear I/O across the
connectors J1/P1. A suitable rear I/O
transition module would be required in
addition in order to gain access to the I/O
ports from the systems back panel.
Several I/O functions are also directly
available by on-board headers on the CC0,
mainly the IDE and FD interfaces. Most of
the on-board connectors are only stuffed as
an option, however.
The CC0-CHILLOUT must be inserted on a
slot outside of the CompactPCI backplane. A
single slot rear I/O P1/P2 backplane should
be present in the system rack at the CC0
reserved slot. Most EKF systems have the
CPCI busprint justified to the left margin of
the 19-inch rack, with the system slot (CPU
slot) orientated to the right end of the
backplane. Following next to the right side,
the CC0-CHILLOUT should be placed in
between the remaining free mounting space.
