For Your safety
Your new PEP product was developed and tested carefully to provide all features necessary
to ensure the renown 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 improper treat-
ment during unpacking and installation. Therefore, in the interests of your own safety and of
the correct operation of your new
PEP product, you are requested to conform with the follow-
ing 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
purposes, unless it is otherwise protected.
• Whenever possible, unpack or pack this product only at EOS/ESD safe work stations.
Where safe work stations are not guaranteed, it is important for the user to be electri-cally
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 plastics or sponges. They can cause short circuits and damage the batteries or
tracks on the board.
Warning!
All operations on this device must be carried out by sufficiently
skilled personnel only.
Caution, Electric Shock!
However, serious electrical shock hazards exist during all
installation, repair and maintenance operations with this prod-
uct. Therefore, always unplug the power cable to avoid expo-
sure to hazardous voltage.
Before installing your new PEP product into a system always
ensure that your mains power is switched off. This applies also
to the installation of piggybacks.
ESD Sensitive Device!
Electronic boards and their components are sensitive to static
electricity. Therefore, care must be taken during all handling
operations and inspections of this product, in order to ensure
product integrity at all times.

1.2 Board Overview
1.2.1 Board-Specific Information
Based around the Chips&Technologies 69000 or 69030 multi-media graphic controller
chips, the CP331 is a CompactPCI enhanced speed, resolution, connectivity (ESRC)
flat-panel USXGA graphics board built for use with all industrial standard displays. All
variants of the CP331 are equipped with a CRT standard VGA interface. As an option,
either an additional standard integrated LVDS interface or an additional PanelLink inter-
face can be provided. The LVDS and PanelLink variants provide the user with the possi-
bility of connecting all types of flatpanel displays with up to 24-bit resolution (16.7 million
colors.)
• Simultaneous display on a CRT monitor and a flatpanel display
• Possible flatpanel types: displays: EL monochrome, 24-bit TFT, 24-bit plasma, sin-
gle-scan (SSTN) or dual-scan (DSTN) STN color
• Up to sixteen flatpanel types directly selectable by jumper setting
• Configuration utilities for adapting the BIOS of the graphic chip to almost any panel
• Up to 16.7 million colors
• VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA and USXGA resolutions
• Separation between external flatpanels and the graphics interface:
• LVDS: ≤10m
• PanelLink: ≤5m
• TTL: ≤0.6m
• Low EMI emission
• Video memory:
• C&T 69000: 2 MByte
• C&T 69030: 4 MByte
• Hardware Windows accelerator with 64-bit graphics engine
• Various power-down and sleep modes
• Display centering/stretching for larger displays
1.2.2 Board Variants
Three different variants of the CP331 are available:
• CP331 (standard variant)
• CP331-PL
• CP331-LVDS
All board variants have in common a standard 15-pin VGA connector on the frontpanel.
In addition, the various board variants are equipped with one or more of the following
connectors:
• LVDS connector (26-pin miniature Delta Ribbon connector)
• PanelLink connector (20-pin miniature Delta Ribbon connector)
• Flatpanel adapter connector CON8 (64-pin on-board pin-row connector)
• Internal TTL flatpanel connector CON9 (on-board 40-pin on-board pin-row connector)
• General-purpose connector CON10 (8-pin on-board pin-row connector)

CP331 Introduction
ID 19947, Rev. 0200 Page 1 - 5© 2000 PEP Modular Computers GmbH
A complete list of the physical board interfaces of all board variants is given in the fol-
lowing table:
* Signals directed to PanelLink connector board.
1.2.3 PanelLink Adapter Module
To the customizable 64-pin on-board connector CON8 of the standard board version a
customer-specific flatpanel adapter can be connected. However, with the CP331 stan-
dard version no throughput of the signals to a frontpanel connecter is foreseen.
The board variant CP331-PL instead is provided with a plug-on module acting as an
adapter between the 64-pin on-board connector CON8 and the 20-pin PanelLink con-
nector on the frontpanel. Therefore, no other connection can be established to the con-
nector CON8 when using the PanelLink adapter module.
1.2.4 System-Relevant Information
In the following information is supplied which must be taken into account before running
or installing a CP331 board in your CompactPCI system.
Operating Systems
The CP331 can operate under the following operating systems:
• Windows 95
• Windows 98
• Windows NT
• Windows 2000

Display Drivers
Drivers are supplied for the C&T 69000 and the C&T 69030 graphic controller chips.
Please note that the two graphic controller chips use different display drivers.
BIOS Adaptation
Up to sixteen flatpanel types can be selected directly by jumper setting after having
entered the appropriate paramteres by means of one of the BIOS configuration utilities
included in the supply. For configuration, please refer to the technical manual for the
C&T 69000 or C&T 69030 graphic controller chips or consult
PEP Modular Computers .
However, a specific BIOS for almost any panel on the market can be created. The con-
figuration can be carried out also by
PEP Modular Computers GmbH or by one of their
authorized partners at relatively short notice.
