For Your Safety
Your new Kontron product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure its compliance with electrical safety requirements. It was also designed for a long
fault-free life. However, the life expectancy of your product can be drastically reduced by im-
proper treatment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interest of your own safety
and of the correct operation of your new Kontron product, you are requested to conform with
the following guidelines.
High Voltage Safety Instructions
Special Handling and Unpacking Instructions
Do not handle this product out of its protective enclosure while it is not used for operational pur-
poses unless it is otherwise protected.
Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations. Where
a safe work station is not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electrically discharged
before touching the product with his/her hands or tools. This is most easily done by touching a
metal part of your system housing.
It is particularly important to observe standard anti-static precautions when changing piggy-
backs, ROM devices, jumper settings etc. If the product contains batteries for RTC or memory
back-up, ensure that the board is not placed on conductive surfaces, including anti-static plas-
tics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or conductive circuits
on the board.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently skilled
personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
Before installing your new Kontron product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also to the
installation of piggybacks.
Serious electrical shock hazards can exist during all installation,
repair and maintenance operations with this product. Therefore,
always unplug the power cable and any other cables which provide
external voltages before performing work.
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static elec-
tricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling operations
and inspections of this product, in order to ensure product integrity at
all times.

1.1 System Overview
The CompactPCI board described in this manual operates with the PCI bus architecture to sup-
port additional I/O and memory-mapped devices as required by various industrial applications.
For detailed information concerning the CompactPCI standard, please consult the complete
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and CompactPCI Specifications. For further informa-
tion regarding these standards and their use, visit the home page of the PCI Industrial Comput-
er Manufacturers Group (PICMG).
Many system-relevant CompactPCI features that are specific to Kontron Modular Computers
CompactPCI systems may be found described in the Kontron CompactPCI System Manual.
Please refer to the section “Related Publications” at the end of this chapter for the relevant or-
dering information.
The CompactPCI System Manual includes the following information:
• Common information that is applicable to all system components, such as safety infor-
mation, warranty conditions, standard connector pinouts etc.
• All the information necessary to combine Kontron’s racks, boards, backplanes, power
supply units and peripheral devices in a customized CompactPCI system, as well as con-
figuration examples.
• Data on rack dimensions and configurations as well as information on mechanical and
electrical rack characteristics.
• Information on the distinctive features of Kontron CompactPCI boards, such as function-
ality, hot swap capability. In addition, an overview is given for all existing Kontron Com-
pactPCI boards with links to the relating data sheets.
• Generic information on the Kontron CompactPCI backplanes, such as the slot assign-
ment, PCB form factor, distinctive features, clocks, power supply connectors and signal-
ling environment, as well as an overview of the Kontron CompactPCI standard backplane
family.
• Generic information on the Kontron CompactPCI power supply units, such as the input/
output characteristics, redundant operation and distinctive features, as well as an over-
view of the Kontron CompactPCI standard power supply unit family.

1.2 Board Overview
1.2.1 Board Introduction
The CP342 board is a CompactPCI three speed Ethernet LAN controller for multiple server-to-
client networking functions. It provides dual independent Gigabit / Fast Ethernet interfaces.
Both interfaces are based on the Intell® Gigabit Ethernet PCI Bus LAN Controller 82546GB
with integrated physical layer interface (PHY).
CP342 is a 3U CPCI Ethernet board suitable for both 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-
TX interfacing and includes all necessary features for auto-negotiation. Thus, 10/100/1000
Mbit/s transfer rates are supported by the board. In fact, provided that the network has the
speed capability, the CP342 switches automatically. Additionally, if the addressed network sta-
tion is compatible, it switches automatically to full-duplex mode.
The 3.3V signalling, 5V tolerant, board is designed to permit a very high PCI data bandwidth,
which is achieved thanks to a MAC with dual 64 kB configurable Transmit and Receive buffers.
The board does not have any jumpers and, therefore, does not require hardware configuration.
To make installation, repairs and updates easier, a PXE Boot allows the system to be started
from a different operating system via network provided the optional Boot Flash is installed.
Three versions of the board are available: the CP342 with a dual front panel RJ45 connector;
the CP342-RIO with no front panel connectors (signals are routed to J2 for rear IO capability);
the CP342-SFP with two Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) interfaces on the front panel. For
the CP342-RIO, there is a RIO module (CP-RIO3-42) with a dual RJ45 connector available.
1.2.2 Board Specific Information
Major board components of the CP342 board are:
• dual independent Gigabit Ethernet controller: Intel® 82546GB
• a Boot Flash (optional)
• a configuration EEPROM
• Magnetics (CP342, CP342-RIO)
• dual RJ45 connector (CP342)
• two SFP (small format pluggable) fiber optic connectors (CP342-SFP)
Other board features are:
• multiple server-to-client networking
• three speed operation: 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (the CP342-SFP supports only 1000 Mbits/s)
• auto-negotiation
• 64 kB Transmit and Receive buffers
• galvanic de-coupling
• optional rear IO capability (CP342-RIO plus CP-RIO3-42)

1.3 Board Versions
1.3.1 CP342
This is the standard version of the CP342. It has a dual RJ45 connector on the front panel with
two LEDs integrated in each connector.
1.3.2 CP342-RIO
This version of the CP342 provides the basis for rear IO output. Both Ethernet channel signals
are routed to the J2 connector for rear IO capablility on backplanes which support rear IO.
There are no front panel connectors with this version, however, there are three operational
status LEDs for each channel available on the front panel. To support standard CompactPCI
rear IO, there is an optional rear IO module available, the CP-RIO3-42.
1.3.3 CP342-SFP
This version of the CP342 provides two SFP (small form-factor pluggable) cages at the front
panel for use with SPF transceivers (fiber optic or RJ45 type modules). In addition, there are
three operational status LEDs available for each channel.
1.3.4 Optional CP-RIO3-42 RIO Module for CP342-RIO
This optional module is designed for use with the CP342-RIO. It provides two rear IO Ethernet
channels with RJ45 interfacing (copper only)
Refer to Appendix A for further information on the CP-RIO3-42 module.
1.3.5 System Considerations
Within any given CompactPCI system there may be more than one CP342 board installed. The
mixing of different versions within a system is also permitted. Use of the CP342-RIO version
requires a backplane which supports rear IO. This may be a standard CPCI backplane with rear
IO slots or may be a customized backplane.
Note ...
This version of the CP342 is supplied only with SFP cages as receptacles for
SFP transceiver modules.
SFP transceiver modules are not a part of this product.
