Introduction 1
cPCI-6525
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The cPCI-6525 is a 6U CompactPCI® processor blade in sin-
gle-slot (4HP) width form factor featuring a single 22nm FC-BGA
3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processor with quad-cores mated
with the Mobile Intel® QM77 Express Chipset. The cPCI-6525
supports dual channel DDR3-1333/1600 ECC SDRAM with one
channel in a SO-CDIMM socket and one channel of soldered
onboard memory (total memory capacity up to 16GB). Graphics is
integrated in the Intel processor with one DVI-I port on the front
panel switchable to rear IO. The cPCI-6525 has two GbE control-
lers (Intel® 82574IT) providing two GbE ports on the front panel
(switchable to rear) and two Intel® 82574IT GbE controllers pro-
viding two ports to rear IO. For expansion flexibility, the cPCI-6525
routes one PCIe x16 Gen2 (convertible to two PCIe x8 Gen2) and
one PCIe x4 to rear IO.
Additional IO functionality of the cPCI-6525 includes three USB
3.0 ports and one RS-232/422/485 serial port via RJ-45 connector
on the front panel. Onboard storage capabilities include a SATA 6
Gb/s direct connector for a 2.5" drive and CFast slot via adapter
board. The cPCI-6525 is also equipped with an Atmel
AT97SC3204 Trusted Platform Module (TPM) to meet security
requirements.
Rear I/O functionality includes two GbE ports via two Intel®
82574IT GbE controllers for PICMG 2.16 support, two GbE ports
(switchable from front panel), six USB 2.0, PS/2 keyboard/mouse,
three serial ports, two DVI interfaces, and HD Audio. Available
rear I/O for storage includes three SATA ports (dependent on
selected RTM) and eight SAS ports supporting hardware RAID via
two mini-SAS x4 connectors when mated with the cPCI-R66S0
RTM. By selecting cPCI-R66G0 or cPCI-R66N0 RTM, the
cPCI-6525 can utilize an MXM PCIe x16 graphics card to perform
high speed calculations.

2Introduction
The cPCI-6525 supports operation in both a system slot and in a
peripheral slot as a standalone blade. The cPCI-6525 is compliant
with the PICMG 2.9 specification and supports system manage-
ment functions based on the Intelligent Platform Management
Interface (IPMI) as well as hardware monitoring of physical char-
acteristics such as CPU and system temperature, DC voltages
and power status.
The cPCI-6525 is ideal for demanding applications, providing sys-
tem integrators in military, communications and other critical appli-
cations a best-performance-per-watt, high I/O throughput solution
with a reliable, smooth path for scalability and expansion.

Notes:
1. The storage device limits the operational vibration. When appli-
cation requires higher specification for anti-vibration, it is rec-
ommended to use a flash storage device.
2. ADLINK-certified thermal design. The thermal performance is
dependent on the chassis cooling design. Sufficient forced air-
flow is required (see 2.4 "Thermal Requirements"). Tempera-
ture limit of optional mass storage devices may affect the ther-
mal specification.

2.3 Power Requirements
In order to guarantee a stable functionality of the system, it is rec-
ommended to provide more power than the system requires. An
industrial power supply unit should be able to provide at least
twice as much power as the entire system requires of each
voltage. An ATX power supply unit should be able to provide at
least three times as much power as the entire system requires of
each voltage.
The tolerance of the voltage lines described in the CompactPCI
specification (PICMG 2.0 R3.0) is +5%/-3% for 5, 3.3 V and ±5%
for ±12V. This specification is for power delivered to each slot and
it includes both the power supply and the backplane tolerance.
Voltage Nominal
Value Tolerance Max. Ripple (P - P)
5V +5.0 VDC +5% / -3% 50 mV
3.3V +3.3 VDC +5% / -3% 50 mV
+12V +12 VDC +5% / -5% 240 mV
-12V -12 VDC +5% / -5% 240 mV
