1 Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The CP-RIO6-923-F, CP-RIO6-923-F12 and CP-RIO6-923-F-8M12 (hereinafter all generally referred to as CP-
RIO6-923-F) are a family of PICMG 2.0 compliant 6U rear panel I/O board that can be used with PICMG 2.16
compliant switches like the CP6923 or CP6930. They provide access to up to 24 of the switch ports connected
over a one-to-one backplane.
This module is intended to access the backplane ports of a PICMG 2.16 compliant switch board directly. These
are the ports located on connectors J3, J4 and J5. Any connections on the backplane on these connectors
between the switch and any other board are not usable together with the RIO module. However, if no other
boards connect to J3, J4 and J5, but the backplane provides slot interconnection and RIO support, the CP-
RIO6-923-F can be used without restrictions.
The CP-RIO6-923-F is a rugged design intended to be used in harsh environments and features
• Support of extended temperature range
• Optional conformal coating
• High shock & vibration capabilities
Three variants are available, providing different numbers and types of Ethernet ports:
• CP-RIO6-923-F: Dual-slot (8HP) width, with 24 1000Base-T RJ45 Ethernet ports
• CP-RIO6-923-F12: Single-slot (4HP) width, with 12 1000Base-T RJ45 Ethernet ports
• CP-RIO6-923-F-8M12: Single-slot (4HP) width, with 8 100Base-TX Industrial M12 Ethernet ports
WARNING
If the CP-RIO6-923-F is used with a backplane that supports slot
interconnect on J3 to J5 as well as RIO support, make sure that no
other board in the system connects to J3 to J5. Otherwise, unpredict-
able behaviour or even damage may occur.
