WARNING
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference, in which case the
user may be required to take adequate measures.
Warning for European Users –Electromagnetic Compatibility
European Union Directive 89/336/EEC requires that this apparatus comply with relevant ITE EMC standards. EMC
compliance demands that this apparatus is installed within a VME enclosure designed to contain electromagnetic
radiation and which will provide protection for the apparatus with regard to electromagnetic immunity. This
enclosure must be fully shielded. An example of such an enclosure is a Schroff® 7U EMC-RFI VME System chassis,
which includes a front cover to complete the enclosure.
The connection of non-shielded equipment interface cables to this equipment will invalidate European Free Trade
Area (EFTA) EMC compliance and may result in electromagnetic interference and/or susceptibility levels that are in
violation of regulations which apply to the legal operation of this device. It is the responsibility of the system
integrator and/or user to apply the following directions, as well as those in the user manual, which relate to
installation and configuration:
All interface cables should be shielded, both inside and outside of the VME enclosure. Braid/foil type shields are
recommended for serial, parallel and SCSI interface cables. Where as external mouse cables are not generally
shielded, an internal mouse interface cable must either be shielded or looped (1 turn) through a ferrite bead at the
enclosure point of exit (bulkhead connector). External cable connectors must be metal with metal back-shells and
provide 360-degree protection about the interface wires. The cable shield must be terminated directly to the metal
connector shell; shield ground drain wires alone are not adequate. VME panel mount connectors that provide
interface to external cables (e.g., RS232, USB, keyboard, mouse, etc.) must have metal housings and provide direct
connection to the metal VME chassis. Connector ground drain wires are not adequate.
Environmental Protection Statement
This product has been manufactured to satisfy environmental protection requirements where possible. Many of the
components used (structural parts, printed circuit boards, connectors, batteries, etc.) are capable of being recycled.

Architecture
CPU Chip
The Intel® i7 processors have a new micro-architecture, but remain software compatible with previous members
of the Intel® microprocessor family. The Intel® Core™ i7-610E, 620LE and 620UE all contain two cores that can
run independent processes, potentially doubling performance. With a maximum junction temperature of 105°C,
the Intel® Core™ i7 processors are capable of withstanding a great deal of thermal stress. The 18 watt Intel®
Core™ i7-620UE 1.06 GHz dual-core processors provide low power options and the 35W Intel® Core™ i7-610E
2.53GHz dual-core processors provide higher performance options.
PCI –X Bus Interface
The PLX8114 PCI Express x4 to PCI-X bridge provides a PCI-X bus for the TSI-148 and PMC interfaces capable of
32-bit/33MHz up to 64-bit/133MHz bus speeds.
PCI-X, or PCI extended, is an enhanced version of PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) computer bus.
Although PCI-X is backward-compatible with traditional 3.3V PCI 2.0 devices and systems, this specification
implements additional features and performance improvements include 3.3V signaling, increased speed grades
and adaptation to other form factors. PCI-X effectively doubles the speed and amount of data exchanged
between the computer processor and peripherals. PCI-X bus was designed for, and is ideally suited for, server
cards such as Fibre Channel, RAID, high-speed networking and other demanding devices.
Note that since the PMC connections share the PCI-X bus with the TSI-148 that the VME throughput may
suffer when PMC cards are plugged into the XVME-6300, especially if using a slower 33/66MHz PMC card. The
PCI-X bus can run up to 133MHz, but will slow down to the speed of the slowest PMC card installed.
Onboard Memory
SDRAM Memory
The XVME-6300 is configured with either 4GB or 8GB of dual channel DDR3 memory, soldered down.
Flash BIOS
The XVME-6300 system BIOS is contained in an 8MB flash device to facilitate system BIOS updates. Contact Acromag
support for available updates at soluti[email protected]om if needed. Be sure to record your current version number and
the reason for the request.
Ethernet Controller
The 82580EB Quad Gigabit Ethernet controller provides up to four 10/100/1000baseT Ethernet interfaces. The
82580EB contains both the MAC and the physical layer. The RJ-45 connectors on the module's front panel
provide auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base and 1000Base-TX connections. Each RJ-45 connector has two
indicator lights. When mounted vertically, the bottom LED is the link indicator and the top LED is the activity
indicator. The optional XBRD-9050 module is needed in order to access the second front panel port. The use of
the XVME-9630 is required to connect RJ-45 cables to the rear of the XVME-6300 processor boards. Note that
both boards must also have the P0 connector installed.

Storage Devices
Onboard NANDFlash SSD
The XVME-6300 features an onboard 8GB NANDFlash SSD. This SSD is attached via the SATA4 interface and
available to operating systems as storage, or can have a bootable operating system installed on it.
Serial ATA connection via P2
The XVME-6300 features two SATA-300 drive interfaces out the rear P2 VMEbus connector. The use of the
optional rear transition module (XVME-9630) allows for the connection of two drives using standard SATA
cables.
Serial ATA 1.8” Hard Drive on XBRD-9050 module
The XBRD-9050 module can be ordered with an installed 1.8” SATA-300 SSD. This device is connected via the
SATA2 interface and can be used for storage or can have a bootable operating system installed on it.
VMEbus Interface
The XVME-6300 interface to the VMEbus is via a PCI-X to VME bridge device (Tundra TSI-148). The VMEbus
interface supports full DMA to and from the VMEbus, integral FIFOs for posted writes, block mode transfers and
read-modify-write operations. The interface contains one master and eight slave images that can be
programmed in a variety of modes to allow the VMEbus to be mapped into the XVME-6300 local memory. This
makes it easy to configure VMEbus resources in protected and real mode programs The XVME-6300 also
incorporates onboard hardware byte-swapping. For a complete API, the Xembedded Board Support Packages
tailored to your operating system will allow quick programming of your application.
Serial Ports
XVME-6300 includes four high-speed 16550-compatible serial ports. COM ports 1 and 2, which are available out
the P2 connector, are capable of switchable RS-232 and RS-422/485 configurations. There is no on-board
termination available for use with RS-422/485 configurations. External cable termination should be applied
where necessary. COM port 4 is RS-232 only and available on the front panel connector. COM port 3 is only
available with the optional XBRD-9050 module installed.
PMC Expansion
The XVME-6300 provides two on-board PMC sites for use with standard 32/64-bit, 33/66/133MHz PMC and
PMC-X modules. PMC site 1 has full I/O available out the optional rear P0 connector, while PMC 2 has only pins
1-28 available out the rear P2 connector.
PCI-X, or PCI extended, is an enhanced version of PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) computer bus.
Although PCI-X is backward-compatible with traditional PCI devices and systems, this specification implements
additional features and performance improvements include 3.3V signaling, increased speed grades and
adaptation to other form factors. PCI-X effectively doubles the speed and amount of data exchanged between
the computer processor and peripherals. PCI-X bus was designed for, and is ideally suited for, server cards such
as FPGA, DSP, Fibre Channel, RAID, high-speed networking and other demanding devices. If a standard PCI PMC
card is fitted on the XVME-6300 PMC site, the on-board PCI-X bus reverts to the PCI bus speed, which will also
affect the VMEbus interface.

Software Support
The XVME-6300 is fully PC-compatible and will run "off-the-shelf" PC software, but most packages will not be
able to access the features of the VMEbus. To solve this problem, Xembedded has developed extensive Board
Support Packages (BSPs) that simplify the integration of VMEbus data into PC software applications.
Xembedded’s BSPs provide users with an efficient high-level interface between their applications and the
VMEbus-to-PCI bridge device. Board Support Packages are available for Windows 7® and RedHawk Linux.
XVME-6300 Xembedded Bios Settings
The BIOS System setup Utility allows you to make modifications to the myriad of BIOS options available for the XVME-
6300. In order to enter setup, you press <F2> several times while it is booting up. Included in the System Utility is a
setup page specifically to configure custom Acromag settings. It is called Xembedded and it is the second page in the
BIOS Setup page as shown below.
TSI-148 Memory
The first option of the Acromag menu is to allow a base allocated memory amount for the TSI-148. The default
memory allocated for the TSI-148 is the smallest available option of 1MByte. This was also the only option in
previous versions of the BIOS and is also therefore selected as the default to maintain compatibility. The other
available sizes are 4MBytes, 8MBytes, 16MBytes, 32MBytes, 64MBytes, and 128MBytes as shown below. Please
note that this will impact the amount of free memory available to the Operating System.

VCFG1
1-2 (default)
SFAILEN bit default = 1
2-3
SFAILEN bit default = 0
The Tsi148 System Failure Enable (SFAILEN) bit controls the assertion of the Tsi148 System Fail Output (SFAILO)
signal. The only exception to this is when the Auto Slot ID method of assigning the CR/CSR base address is being
implemented.
The initial value of the SFAILEN bit can be configured at power-up reset through the VCFG1 jumper. Additionally, a
value can be programmed by software in the Control and Status register.
VCFG2
1-2 (default)
VME SYSFAIL AUTO NEGATED
2-3
VME SYSFAIL NOT AUTO NEGATED
The System Failure Auto Slot ID (SFAILAI) bit is used when the Auto Slot ID protocol is enabled in the system to
assign the CR/CSR base address.
When Auto Slot ID is used to assign the CR/CSR base address, the SFAILAI bit is set by the assertion of the SRSTI_
signal. The SFAILAI bit must be cleared in order for Tsi148’s System Fail Output (SFAILO) signal to be negated. SFAILO
is automatically negated if the VCFG2 jumper is in the 1-2 position. Otherwise SFAILO is negated when software
clears the SFAILAI bit in the VCTRL register.
The initial value of the SFAILAI bit can be configured at power-up reset through the SFAILAI_AC power-up option or
a value can be programmed by software in the SFAILAI bit in the VMEbus Control register (VCTRL).

VME AUTO SLOT ID ENABLED
2-3
VME AUTO SLOT ID DISABLED
The Auto Slot ID Enable (ASIDEN) feature is controlled through the VCFC3 jumper. The ASIDEN feature allows the
CR/CSR base address to be configured using the Auto Slot ID protocol.
VCFG4
1-2 (default)
VME GEOGRAPHICAL SLOT ID ENABLED
2-3
VME GEOGRAPHICAL SLOT ID DISABLED
The Geographic Slot ID Enable function initializes the CR/CSR base address register using the VMEbus GA signals.
The Geographic Slot ID Enable feature allows a board to come out of reset with the CR/CSR registers visible from the
VMEbus and the base address of the CR/CSR is determined by the VMEbus GA signals.
If the VCFG4 jumper is in the 2-3 position the CR/CSR enable bit and CBAR bits are cleared. If the VCFG4 jumper is in
the 1-2 position, the CR/CSR enable bit is set and the CBAR bits 7 to 3 are set to the inverted value of the VMEbus
geographic address signals. When the SRSTI_ signal is asserted, the CR/CSR EN bit and the CBAR bits are loaded with
the power-up option reset values.
The initial value of the CR/CSR Enable bit in the CR/CSR Attribute (CRAT) register and CBAR bits in the CR/CSR Base
Address (CBAR) register can be configured at power-up reset using the Geographic Slot ID Enable function.

When SW1-1 and SW1-2 are both OFF, The SVME-6300 uses the BG3IN_ signal to enable a board to determine if it is
in VMEbus slot 1. If the board is in VMEbus slot 1, the BG3IN_ signal is low and the SCON function is enabled. If the
board is not in VMEbus slot 1, the BG3IN_ signal is high and the SCON function is disabled.
SW1-3 controls whether a local board reset drives out onto the VMEbus. When SW1-3 is ON the VME SYSRST# line
will be driven low to reset the VMEbus whenever the XVME-6300 is reset locally. When SW1-3 is OPEN the VMEbus
will not be reset.
SW1-4 controls whether the VMEbus can reset the XVME-6300. When SW1-4 is ON the XVME-6300 will be reset
when the VME SYSRST# signal is driven low. When SW1-4 is OFF the XVME-6300 will not respond to a VME SYSRST#.
