1.4.1.2 SLI with CPU Board
This implementation primarily depends on the type of CPU board in use. As the PMC240’s sys-
tem interface is based on the PCI-bus, the CPU board must support this type of interfacing in
some way. With CPU boards which are compliant with the CMC / PMC standard, the PMC240
may be directly installed in any available PMC socket. Other CPU board types may require the
use of some intermediate carrier board for interfacing to the CPU board.
An example of such a configuration is PEP Modular Computers’ VMP1 CPU board which
interfaces with the VMP1-IO1 PMC carrier board. This board itself is a type of VME mezzanine
board which interfaces directly to the VMP1 CPU board via the PCI Expansion Connector.
Application expansion capabilites using this implentation are a direct function of the type of
CPU board used and its associated hardware.
