Introduction 1
cPCI-6930
1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The cPCI-6930 is a 6U CompactPCI® single board computer fea-
turing a single 32nm Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2400 Series with
8/6/4-cores in LGA1356 socket mated with the Intel® C604 Series
Platform Controller Hub. The cPCI-6930 supports three channels
of DDR3-1333/1600 ECC registered SDRAM in three RDIMMs
channel up to total 48GB capacity. Graphics is provided by a Sili-
con Motion SM750 2D GPU supporting up to 1920x1440 resolu-
tion. Four front panel 10/100/1000BASE-T ports are provided by
the Intel® 82580EB Gigabit Ethernet controller.
The cPCI-6930 Series supports a 64bit/66MHz CompactPCI bus
with optional PMC site with 32/64-bit 133MHz PCI bus or
PCI-Express x8 XMC site. The 8HP cPCI-6930 provides four GbE
ports, one VGA port, three USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, one
DB-9 RS-232 serial port on the front panel. Onboard storage capa-
bilities include 4GB of soldered SATA NAND flash and a SATA 6
Gb/s port convertible to direct connector for an onboard 2.5" SATA
drive, CFast adapter, or CompactFlash adapter, with an onboard
2.5” SAS drive supported by BOM option (only 1
SATA/CFast/CF/SAS device supported).
A selection of optional Rear Transition Modules (RTM) provides
additional I/O functionality including two GbE ports for PICMG
2.16 support, USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 keyboard/mouse port, serial
ports, High Definition Audio, SATA ports, additional VGA/ DVI
interfaces (dependent on selected RTM), and optional CF or SD
socket. Up to eight SAS ports supporting hardware RAID via two
mini-SAS x4 connectors are available when mated with the
cPCI-R6200 RTM, and signals for two SAS ports are available on
J5 by BOM option.
For dense computing requirements, the cPCI-6930 supports oper-
ation in both a system slot and in a peripheral slot as a standalone
blade. The cPCI-6930 is compliant with the PICMG 2.9 specifica-
tion and supports system management functions based on the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) as well as hard-
ware monitoring of physical characteristics such as CPU and sys-
tem temperature, DC voltages and power status.

2Introduction
The cPCI-6930 is ideal for server-grade applications, providing
datacom equipment providers, system integrators, robust com-
puter makers and security sectors a flexible, cost-optimized solu-
tion for mission critical applications with a reliable, smooth path for
scalability and expansion.
