Regulatory compliance
Products sold or transferred between companies or operated on company
premises (factory floor, laboratory) do not need CE, FCC or equivalent
certification. Boards or subsystems which cannot provide a useful function on
their own do not need certification.
Certification can only be granted to complete and operational systems. There
are authorized testing agencies, regulatory organizations and laboratories who
will issue certificates of compliance after system testing.
GE Intelligent Platforms designs and tests all their products for EMI/EMC
conformance. Where GE Intelligent Platforms supplies a complete/functional
system for use by end users a certificate will be cited in the manuals/documents
which are provided with the products.
Products manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms should normally be suitable
for use in properly designed and produced customer equipment (system boxes
or operational systems) without any major redesign or additional filtering.
However, the systems might not conform to specific regulations once
assembled and used. The system integrator or installer must test for compliance
as required in his country or by the intended application and certify this to the
end user.
ESD/EMI issues
ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) and EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) issues
may show up in complete and operational systems. There are many ways to
avoid problems with these issues.
Any operational system with cables for I/O signals, connectivity or peripheral
devices provides an entry point for ESD and EMI. If GE Intelligent Platforms
does not manufacture the complete system, including enclosure and cables, it is
the responsibility of the system integrator and end user to protect their system
GE Intelligent Platforms – CM6 Hardware Reference Manual, Fourth Edition Page 6
GE Intelligent Platforms – CM6 Hardware Reference Manual, Fourth Edition Page 7
against potential problems. Filtering, optical isolation, ESD gaskets and other
measures might be required at the physical point of entry (enclosure wall of box
or rack). For example it is state-of-the-art that protection can not be done at the
internal connector of an RTM if a cable is attached and routed outside the
enclosure. It has to be done at the physical entry point as specified above.
Products manufactured by GE Intelligent Platforms should normally be suitable
for use in properly designed and produced customer equipment (system boxes
or operational systems) without any major redesign. However, the systems
might be subject to problems and issues once assembled, cabled and used. The
end user, system integrator or installer must test for possible problems and in
some cases show compliance to local regulations as required in his country or
by the intended application.

. Welcome
The CM6 CompactPCI Single Board Computer is a PowerPC stand-alone CPU
board equipped with numerous functions and add-on features on a minimum
board size. This technical manual is designed to provide information regarding
the general usage and application of the CM6 CompactPCI Single Board
Computer. The hardware design is also outlined.
Chapter 1 gives an overview of the functions, features and devices of the CM6.
Chapter 2 and 3 illustrate unpacking and installation procedures.
Chapter 4 describes all onboard and panel interfaces with pin assignments.
Chapter 5 contains notes on system resources.
Chapter 6 lists details of function blocks.
Chapter 7 outlines electrical, mechanical and environmental specifications.
Appendix A:
The CTM19 transition module is available for the CM6. This board will
provide easy access to the rear CM6 interfaces.
Appendix B:
Support, Service and Warranty Information.
Please observe all safety instructions when handling GE Intelligent Platforms
products as given in the unpacking and installation chapters.
All documents will be included as files on the Technical Product Information
CD-ROM.
Typographic Conventions
This manual uses the following notation conventions:
•Italics (sometimes additional in blue color) emphasize words in text or
documentation or chapter titles or web addresses if underlined.
•Hexadecimal values (base 16) are represented as digits followed by “h”,
for example: 0Ch.
GE Intelligent Platforms – CM6 Hardware Reference Manual, Fourth Edition Page 9
•Hexadecimal values (base 16) are represented as digits preceded by “H”,
for example: H0C.
•Hexadecimal values (base 16) are represented as digits preceded by “$”,
for example: $0C.
•Binary values (base 2) are represented as digits followed by “b”, for
example 01b
•The use of a “#” (hash) suffix to a signal name indicates an active low
signal. The signal is either true when it is at logic zero level (voltage close
to 0 V) or the signal initiates actions on a high-to-low transition.
•The use of a “\” (backslash) prefix to a signal name indicates an active low
signal. The signal is either true when it is at logic zero level (voltage close
to 0 V) or the signal initiates actions on a high-to-low transition.
•Text in Courier font indicates a command entry or output from a GE
Intelligent Platforms embedded PC product using the built-in character set.
•Notes, warning symbols and cautions call attention to essential
information.
Product Properties
Certification
The product or products described in this technical manual cannot be operated
by themselves. They are components for integration into operational systems or
add-ons to such systems. The products have been designed to meet relevant
regulatory standards like FCC and CE. As mandated by these standards
conformance to these standards can only be certified for complete operational
systems. This has to be done by the end-user or by the systems integrator in
their operational systems. GE Intelligent Platforms have tested some products
in their own systems. Upon request information is available which products
have been tested and about the specific environment under which GE
Intelligent Platforms has tested these components.
Altitude
Altitude, air pressure and ambient temperature influence the thermal operation
of the components described in this manual. They have been developed and
tested at about 500 m (1650 ft.) above sea level at a typical ambient
temperature of 20 °C (68 °F). Because of only marginal variations within a
limited range of altitudes these products operate as specified within altitudes
from sea level to 1000 m (3300 ft.). GE Intelligent Platforms can assist the user
of these components in planning operation outside this altitude range upon
request.
Options
This manual describes the basic product plus all options. Your product may not
have all options implemented. Please verify with your purchase contract which
options are implemented. Descriptions of options which are not implemented
obviously do not apply to your product.
GE Intelligent Platforms – CM6 Hardware Reference Manual, Fourth Edition Page 10
Support, Service and Warranty

products a warranty of 24 months from the date of delivery. For details
regarding this warranty refer to Terms & Conditions of the initial sale.
