1. Introduction
1.1 Board Overview
The CP-RIO6-Ax/Bx 6U CompactPCI rear transition module has been designed for use with
Kontron 6U CompactPCI CPU boards and provides comprehensive rear I/O functionality for
peripherals. In order to use the CP-RIO6-Ax/Bx, a special 6U CompactPCI backplane with rear
I/O support as well as a compatible and correctly configured CPU board are required.
There are four modules described in this user guide: CP-RIO6-A, CP-RIO6-A216, CP-RIO6-B,
and CP-RIO6-B216. All four modules provide various data, communication and multimedia in-
terfaces as well as support for two optional USB 2.0 NAND Flash modules and four external
SATA devices. The CP-RIO6-Ax/Bx comes with four USB 2.0 ports, four onboard SATA ports,
two COM ports, and an HD audio codec supporting five audio ports such as one onboard CD-
In port, one Mic-In port, one Line-In port, one Line-Out port, and one S/P-DIF-Out port. Further-
more, the CP-RIO6-A and the CP-RIO6-A216 are equipped with one VGA (CRT) port on the
front panel. The CP-RIO6-B and the CP-RIO6-B216 provide a DVI-D port and a HDMI port on
the front panel. In addition, the CP-RIO6-A and the CP-RIO6-B are equipped with two Gigabit
Ethernet ports on the front panel. The CP-RIO6-Ax/Bx has three CompactPCI connectors for
connecting the CP-RIO6-Ax/Bx to the backplane.
