1.6. Environmental Considerations
1.6.1. Environmental Specification
Kontron defines the following operating and non-operating (storage) temperature ranges. In a passively cooled
system the ambient temperature, where ambient is the temperature surrounding the CompactPCI rack, must be
considered when placing the board in a CompactPCI backplane slot within the CompactPCI system rack.
The difference between the ambient temperature surrounding the CompactPCI rack and the
operating temperature on the PCB inside the system must be considered.

1.6.2. Thermal Management
The CP933 is designed to efficiently support forced airflow concepts as found in a modern CompactPCI rack
supporting vertical card orientation for improved cooling. The CP933’s physical size, shape, and construction ensures
the best possible thermal resistance (Rth) coefficients.
Forced air-cooling is a requirement and must be considered in the system.
Table 7: Thermal Aspects

2.2. Gigabit Ethernet Switch Controller
The Marvell 88E6352 Gigabit Ethernet switch controller provides the CP933 with up to six Ethernet ports, where five
ports feature full-duplex 10 100/1000-triple speed Ethernet transceivers (copper PHYs) that are auto MDI/MDI-X
capable.
The CP933’s sixth port uses the Ethernet switch controller’s SERDES digital interface, to connect to an Ethernet
controller chip and act as an integrated NIC connecting to the master CPU of the CompactPCI system. The SERDES
digital interface has one defined configuration speed (1000 Mbit/s) and therefore the CP933’s sixth Ethernet port
does not require auto-negotiation as only one speed is supported. Additionally, crossover MDI-X Ethernet signals are
not required.
The Ethernet switch controller combines all the functions of a high-speed switch system, including high performance
non-blocking Gigabit switch fabric with state-of-the-art features such as 1 Mbit frame buffer memory, jumbo frame
support for up to 10 KBytes, and a high performance look-up engine with support for up to 8 K MAC addresses.
Furthermore, the Ethernet Switch controller has fully integrated 10/100/1000Base-T Gigabit Ethernet transceiver
(copper PHYs) meeting the requirements of IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, and 802.3ab standards and complying with the IEEE
802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standards.
