PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Figure 1 PMC-X to PCI Express adapter block diagram Introduction The Technobox PMC/CCPMC to PCI Express family of carrier cards host a Conduction Cooled PMC “ CCPMC” in a PCI Express edge card slot. Standard IEEE1386 PMCs are hosted in a similar, but smaller, mechanical configuration without the heatsink. The PMC is reverse mounted providing PN4 rear IO at the PCI mounting bracket via a 68 pin SCSI style connector J1.

PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Software Requirements Because the carrier uses a transparent PCI Express to PCI bridge your system should not need to use any software other than the standard PCI bridge drivers available for your operating system. The PMC manufacturer typically supplies the software you need to operate the PMCs.

PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc PMC JN4/J1 connector(Rear I/O) This family of carrier products presents the 64 PMC PN4 signals at the PCI front panel via a 68 pin SCSI style connector. The differential pairs between the connectors are offered in a “Standard” and a “VITA46” wiring scheme, as shown schematically in Figure 7 and Figure 8. The 4 extra signals on the 68 pin connector are used for grounds.

PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc SCSI STYLE Connector Mounting bracket view. The sixty-eight pin front panel connector provides a standard and versatile way to connect to system wiring. The J1 connector on this family of carriers does not include the ears for accommodating latching style cables and need to use the 2-56 tread thumb-screw style cables.

PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Appendix A – CCPMC mounting and carrier Installation Carrier and PMC Installation The recommended procedure is to install the PMC on the carrier before inserting the carrier into the motherboard or other host. This avoids stressing the edge finger connectors. Conduction cooled PMC installation on Carrier Position the CCPMC rear connectors so they engage the corresponding carrier connectors.
PAGE 33
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Carrier Installation into PCI slot. After the PMC is installed, insert the carrier into the PCI slot. Observe that the carrier is fully seated. Secure the top of the carrier front panel to the chassis frame using a screw of the appropriate size or hold down mechanism if present, this step is MANDATORY due to the weight of the assembly. Cautions Inspect that the edge fingers line up properly in the corresponding motherboard slot.
PAGE 34
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Appendix B RS-232 Serial Monitor. The temperature, fan control algorithm and other status of the carrier card can be monitored with a PC serial port or other terminal device set to 57600 baud.
PAGE 35
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Main Menu Each User Menu option will be explained. Figure 20 Main screen-shot. Option “0” Display Carrier Status / Rev This command provides the Technobox serial numbers for the carrier, the PSOC firmware revision and release date, the power status of the Carrier & PMC card, the PCI clock frequency of the PMC and the interrupt status of the PCI bus INTA. The uptime indicates how long the carrier has been powered on.
PAGE 36
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Option “1” Display Fan status / Temperature This command reports the fan speed in revolutions per minute, the fan control pulse width modulation percentage, the average fan current in milli-amps and the Carrier temperature (as measured by the PSOC die) and heat sink temperature in degrees centigrade. Option “2” Enter Fan/ Temperature Monitor This command will enter a fan & temperature monitor that will update every 4 seconds.
PAGE 37
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Option “4” Display IPMI EEPROM Information This command displays the contents of the IPMI FRU EEPROM which holds the Part number and serial number information as well as the full IPMI FRU header. Note: Although IPMI is not implemented in all versions the IPMI EEPROM is always present. Option “F” Force Software Reset This command resets the PSOC device and restarts the firmware.
PAGE 38
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Option “+” Override Fan – Increase RPM This command increases the fan PWM by 10%, increasing the fan speed. This overrides the normal fan operation and the fan control algorithm will not execute until command “N” is run. Option “8” Override Fan – Minimum RPM This command sets the fan speed to the minimum RPM. This overrides the normal fan operation and the fan control algorithm will not execute until command “N” is run.
PAGE 39
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc 2 (Use Fixed RPM): This fan control algorithm always forces the fan speed to the desired Fixed RPM and does not change the fan speed regardless of the Carrier or Heat Sink Temperature. In this algorithm the maximum desired Heat Sink Temperature is not used. A to H: These commands update the maximum desired Heat Sink Temperature to use in the Fan Control Algorithms 0 (Minimize Fan) and 1 (Use Heat Sink). The default value is 50.

PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Appendix D – Typical applications. Technobox 6768 with a 5100 break out panel. A p/n 6768 PMC carrier connects to a P/N 5100 breakout panel with a P/N 5910 SCSI style cable. The break out panel provides 8 discrete DB9 connectors for system wiring. Technobox CCPMC carrier with fan and heat sink. A p/n 6768 carrier with a fan and heat sink shows the ample ability to remove heat from a CCPMC.
PAGE 42
PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Technobox CCPMC carrier without a fan. A p/n 6768 CCPMC carrier without a fan is useful for applications where another card occupies an adjacent slot, or to reduce noise or power consumption, or where the power consumption of the CCPMC is lower.

PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Technobox CCPMC carrier fan removal. In order to remove the fan first remove the fan connector, then remove the 4 small Phillips head screws 2 of which are pointed to by red arrows in the picture and two of which are on the other side. Use a #1 phillips head screw driver or bit. Although the fan assembly is shown detached, this procedure should be performed with the fan assembly left attached to the carrier.

PCI Express to PMC adapter Copyright © 2011, Technobox, Inc Appendix E front panel wiring aids When using the 68 pin parallel connector on the PCI bracket for rear IO, a number of wiring aids offered by Technobox may be useful. P/N 5121 metal work allows mounting of P/N 4988 in a 6U chassis. P/N 1866 Allows breakout of 68 pin parallel cable signals into 16 RJ11 connectors. P/N 1868 Allows breakout of 68 pin parallel cable signals into discrete terminal block connectors.

Appendix F Mech. Dimensions Depending on the acceptability of mechanical interference with adjacent slots and the thermal dissipation need, three different solutions are possible. 1) For the best cooling of the PMC use both the heat sink and the fan, the fan will not fit if another card occupies Slot B the adjacent slot, and will come to within 0.465 inches of Slot C. 2) For the next best cooling of the PMC remove the and use the heat sink only. The heat sink will come to within 0.
