WARNING
This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference,
in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Warning for European Users – Electromagnetic Compatibility
European Union Directive 89/336/EEC requires that this apparatus comply with relevant ITE
EMC standards. EMC compliance demands that this apparatus is installed within a VME
enclosure designed to contain electromagnetic radiation and which will provide protection for the
apparatus with regard to electromagnetic immunity. This enclosure must be fully shielded. An
example of such an enclosure is a Schroff 7U EMC-RFI VME System chassis, which includes a
front cover to complete the enclosure.
The connection of non-shielded equipment interface cables to this equipment will invalidate
European Free Trade Area (EFTA) EMC compliance and may result in electromagnetic
interference and/or susceptibility levels that are in violation of regulations which apply to the
legal operation of this device. It is the responsibility of the system integrator and/or user to apply
the following directions, as well as those in the user manual, which relate to installation and
configuration:
All interface cables should be shielded, both inside and outside of the VME enclosure.
Braid/foil type shields are recommended for serial, parallel, and SCSI interface cables.
Where as external mouse cables are not generally shielded, an internal mouse interface
cable must either be shielded or looped (1 turn) through a ferrite bead at the enclosure
point of exit (bulkhead connector). External cable connectors must be metal with metal
back-shells and provide 360-degree protection about the interface wires. The cable shield
must be terminated directly to the metal connector shell; shield ground drain wires alone
are not adequate. VME panel mount connectors that provide interface to external cables
(e.g.,

iii
RS232, USB, keyboard, mouse, etc.) must have metal housings and provide direct
connection to the metal VME chassis. Connector ground drain wires are not adequate.
Environmental Protection Statement
This product has been manufactured to satisfy environmental protection requirements where
possible. Many of the components used (structural parts, printed circuit boards, connectors,
batteries, etc.) are capable of being recycled.
Final disposition of this product after its service life must be accomplished in accordance with
applicable country, state, or local laws or regulations.

Introduction

Architecture
CPU Chip
The Intel Celeron M processors have a new micro-architecture, but remain software
compatible with previous members of the Intel microprocessor family. The Celeron M has
longer pipeline stages and thus does more per clock cycle, which allows it to run at a lower
clock frequency thus saving power. The Celeron M has a large L2 cache (1MB on 160nm)
which boosts performance. A Celeron M is comparable in performance to a Pentium 4
running at 50% higher clock rate, but dissipates less than half the power. With a junction
temperature range of 0 to 100C, and a max power dissipation ranging from 10W to 24Watts,
the Celeron M is capable of withstanding a great deal of thermal stress while reducing the
overall power dissipation for the product.
PCI Local Bus Interface
The Intel 855GME / 6300ESB chipset supports the Celeron M processors with up to 400MHz front
side bus. The XVME 689-VR7 incorporates one PCI-X bus which is used to service the two Intel
82546EB Ethernet controllers and the on-board PMC site. The PMC site supports both 32-bit/33MHz
and 64-bit/66MHz bus speeds with 5V I/O support. The XVME 689-VR7 supports on PCI bus for 32-
bit/33MHz operation, this bus services the PCI to VME bridge chip known as the tundra Universe II
chip and the 80-pin expansion connector used to connect the XVME-976-209 Dual PMC carrier
modules. These carrier modules can be “stacked” to allow for up to five (5) PMC sites on one XVME
689-VR7.
PCI-X, or PCI extended, is an enhanced version of PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)
computer bus. Although PCI-X is backward-compatible with traditional PCI devices and systems, this
specification implements additional features and performance improvements include 3.3V signaling,
increased speed grades, and adaptation to other form factors. PCI-X effectively doubles the speed and
amount of data exchanged between the computer processor and peripherals. PCI-X bus was designed
for and is ideally suited for server cards such as Fibre Channel, RAID, high-speed networking, and
other demanding devices.
Onboard Memory
SDRAM Memory
The XVME 689-VR7 has a socket for a single 200-pin SODIMM, providing 256 MB, 512MB, 1GB
and 2GB of ECC DDR 266/333MHz SDRAM. Approved SDRAM suppliers are listed in 0.
Flash BIOS
The XVME 689-VR7 system BIOS is contained in a 1MB flash device to facilitate system BIOS
updates. Contact Xembedded support for available updates at [e-mail] if needed. Be
sure to record your current version number and the reason for the request.
Video Controller
The 855GME Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) has a built-in 2D/3D graphics controller. The
maximum video modes supported are listed in the following table. The highest supported interlaced monitor
mode is 1280x1024, 16-bit/65k color, and 43 Hz. Video output is available on the front panel through a
standard 15-pin D shell connector. The graphics controller is in the 855GME which uses up to 64MB main

memory as video memory. The 855GME has a built-in 3D graphics engine and its display / render core
frequency is up to 200MHz.
Table 1-1 Maximum Video Modes Supported
Resolution Bit Depth/Colors Vertical Refresh
640x480 24-bit/16M color 100 Hz
800x600 24-bit/16M color 100 Hz
1024x768 24-bit/16M color 100 Hz
1280x1024 24-bit/16M color 75 Hz
1600x1200 16-bit/65k color 60 Hz
Ethernet Controller
The 82546GB dual Giga-bit Ethernet controller provides a pair of 10/100/1000baseT Ethernet interfaces. The
82546GB contains both the MAC and the physical layer. The RJ-45 connectors on the module's front panel
provide auto-sensing for 10Base-T, 100Base and 1000Base -TX connections. Each RJ-45 connector has two
indicator lights. When mounted vertically, the top light is the link/activity light and the bottom light (the one
closer to the COM ports) is the 10Base-T/100Base-TX indicator. When it is off, the connection is 10Base-T;
when it is on, the connection is 100Base-TX. When the Ethernet is switched to the rear optional P0 no lights
are available to indicate link or speed. The use of the XVME 990-VR7 is required to connect RJ-45 cables to
the rear of the XVME 689-VR7 processor boards.
Storage Devices (Hard Drive, Floppy, Compact PCI and On-Board Drive)
EIDE and Floppy Drives
The XVME 689-VR7 primary IDE and floppy drive signals are routed through the P2 connector inner three
rows (available in a legacy 96-pin back plane), providing a simplified method of connecting up to two IDE
devices and one external floppy drive. The secondary IDE master signals support the optional on-board hard
drive or on-board Compact Flash site and the secondary IDE slave signals are not supported.
The XVME-689-VR7 is NOT compatible with the XVME-977 and/or the XVME-979 mass storage modules.
For applications that require mass storage outside the VMEbus chassis, the XVME 9090-VR7 rear transition
module plugs onto the VMEbus J2 connector. This module provides industry standard connections for IDE and
floppy signals. One floppy drive can be connected to the XVME 990-VR7. This drive may be 2.88 MB,
1.44 MB, 1.2 MB, or 720 KB, 360 KB in size. For more information on the XVME 990-VR7, refer to Chapter
5.
