About This Manual

Conventions

Numbers

All numbers are expressed in decimal, except addresses and memory or register  data, which are expressed in hexadecimal. Where confusion may occur, decimal  numbers have a “D” subscript and binary numbers have a “b” subscript. The  prefix “0x” shows a hexadecimal number, following the ‘C’ programming  language convention. Thus:

One dozen = 12D = 0x0C = 1100b

The multipliers “k”, “M” and “G” have their conventional scientific and  engineering meanings of *10

3

, *10

6

 and *10

9  respectively. The only exception to  this is in the description of the size of memory areas, when “K”, “M” and “G”  mean *2

10

, *2

20

 and *2

30

 respectively.

NOTE

When describing transfer rates, “k”, “M” and “G” mean *10

3

, *10

6

and *10

9

not *2

10

, *2

20

and *2

.

Multiple bit fields are numbered from 0 to n, where 0 is the LSB and n is the MSB.

Text

Signal names ending with a tilde (~) denote active low signals; all other signals are  active high.

1.2 Safety Notices

The following general safety precautions represent warnings of certain dangers of  which GE Intelligent Platforms is aware. Failure to comply with these or with  specific Warnings and/or Cautions elsewhere in this manual violates safety  standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the equipment. GEIP  assumes no liability for the user’s failure to comply with these requirements.

Also follow all warning instructions contained in associated system equipment  manuals.

WARNING

To minimize shock hazard, connect the equipment chassis and rack/enclosure to an electrical ground. If AC power is supplied to the rack/enclosure, the power jack and mating plug of the power cable must meet IEC safety standards.

1.2.1 Flammability

The IPN250 circuit board is made by a UL‐recognized manufacturer and has a  flammability rating of UL94V‐1.

1.2.2 EMI/EMC Regulatory Compliance

CAUTION

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate electromagnetic energy. It may cause or be susceptible to EMI if not installed and used in a cabinet with adequate EMI protection.

The IPN250 is designed using good EMC practices and, when used in a suitably 

EMC‐compliant chassis, should maintain the compliance of the total system. The 

IPN250 also complies with EN60950 (product safety), which is essentially the  requirement for the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC).

Air‐cooled build levels of the IPN250 are designed for use in systems meeting 

VDE class B, EN and FCC regulations for EMC emissions and susceptibility.

Conduction‐cooled build levels of the IPN250 are designed for integration into 

EMC hardened cabinets/boxes.

1.2.3 Cooling

CAUTION

The IPN250 requires air-flow of at least 300 feet/minute for build levels 1 and 2, and at least

600 feet/minute for build level 3. If a conduction-cooled (level 4 or 5) IPN250 is operating on an extender card, it requires air-flow of at least 300 feet/minute across it.

1.2.4 Safety Ground

CAUTION

The IPN250 metalwork, heatsink and safety ground are connected to signal ground.

The IPN250 does not comply with rules 3-1 and 3-15 of ANSI/VITA 46.0.

1.2.5 Handling

CAUTION

Only handle the IPN250 by the edges or front panel

Figure 1-2 ESD Label (Present on Board Packaging)

1.2.6 Heatsink

CAUTION

Do not remove the heatsink. There are no user-alterable components underneath the heatsink, so users should have no reason to remove it. Users should not attempt reattachment of the heatsink, as this requires precise torque on the screws attaching the heatsink to the PCB. Over-tightening the screws may cause the heatsink to damage components beneath it. Removal and re attachment of the heatsink should only be carried out by the factory.

2.2 Identifying Your Board

The IPN250 is identified by labels at strategic positions. These can be cross‐ checked against the Advice Note provided with your delivery.

Identification labels, similar to that shown in Figure 2‐2, attached to the shipping  box and the antistatic bag provide identical information: IPN250 product code,  product description, equipment number and board revision.

Figure 2-2 Product Label (Packaging)

On the board within the antistatic bag, there is an identifying label similar to the  example shown in Figure 2‐3 attached to the PCB.

Figure 2-3 Product Label (Product)

On the conduction‐cooled version of the board (build level 4), there is also a label  similar to the example shown in Figure 2‐4 attached to the front panel.

3 • Installation and Power Up/Reset

Review the 

Safety Notices  section before installing the board. The following 

notices also apply:

CAUTION

Consult the enclosure documentation to ensure that the IPN250's power requirements (see overleaf) are compatible with those supplied by the backplane.

3.1 Configuration

All user‐configurable options are selected via backplane strapping signals (see 

section 5.1.16

 for more details). There are no user‐configurable links.

3.2 Board Keying

The VPX specification defines three keying pins. The keying pin at Position 1 

(adjacent to the P0 connector) defines the voltage present on the Vs1 and Vs2  supply pins on the backplane J0 connector. The IPN250 uses these supplies, and  the Open VPX specification requires 315° keying in Position 1.

The keying pins at Position 2 (adjacent to the P3 connector) and Position 3 

(adjacent to the P6 connector) define slot‐specific keying. The IPN250 is delivered  with module keying devices of the unkeyed type in these positions to allow the  board to be fitted to any backplane slot. Contact the factory to discuss any specific  keying requirements.

3.3 Board Installation Notes

Publication No. IPN250-HRM/3

1. The IPN250 uses the OpenVPX SLT6‐PAY‐4F1Q2U2T‐10.2.1 Slot Profile and  the MOD6‐PAY‐4F1Q2U2T‐12.2.1‐8 Module Profile.

CAUTION

Take care to ensure that the pinout of the IPN250 matches that of the backplane slot before insertion.

2. Air‐cooled versions of the IPN250 have an injector/ejector handle to ensure  that the backplane connectors mate properly with the backplane. The captive  screws at the top and bottom of the front panel allow the IPN250 to be  tightly secured in position, which provides continuity with the chassis  ground of the system.

3. Conduction‐cooled versions of the IPN250 have screw‐driven wedgelocks at  the top and bottom of the board to provide the necessary mechanical/ thermal interface. Correct adjustment requires a calibrated torque wrench  with a hexagonal head of size 

3

/

32

” (2.38 mm), set to between 0.6 and 0.8 Nm.

4. In an air‐cooled development enclosure, when taking I/O connections from  the backplane connectors, use of GEIP I/O modules (or some equivalent  system) ensures optimum operation of the IPN250 with regard to EMI. See  overleaf for more details on the I/O modules.

Installation and Power Up/Reset 17

3.4 Power Requirements

The IPN250 has the following power requirements:

• 84 W maximum from Vs1 and Vs2 (+12 V)

• 60 W maximum from Vs3 (+5 V)

• 1.65 W maximum from P3V3_AUX (+3.3 V)

The maximum Thermal Design Power (TDP) is 120 W.

To keep the Real Time Clock (RTC) running, power must be applied to either the 

P3V3_AUX or the VBAT supply.

For more details, see the  Electrical Specification  in Appendix A.

3.5 Connecting to IPN250

To interact with the BIOS requires the IPN250 to be connected to, as a minimum, a 

USB keyboard and a VGA monitor on the GMCH video output channel. The BIOS  can alternatively be configured to use the GPU video output channel 1, but the 

GMCH video output channel is the default.

For development systems, front panel‐accessible Serial and Ethernet ports are  available via the P82 connector (present on convection‐cooled build levels only). 

A suitable breakout cable for this connector is the IPN250FPCBL‐11.

Connection to the USB and Graphics ports (together with other rear I/O) can be  achieved using a Rear Transition Module. This converts the condensed pin out of  the backplane connectors to pinouts suitable for use by industry standard  connectors. The following items are required as a minimum:

• The IPN250

• A rear transition module (IPN250RTM)

• A USB keyboard and mouse

• A VGA monitor and suitable cables

The VPX I/O Modules manual contains more details on fitting backplane  modules.

LINK

VPX I/O Modules Manual, publication number VPXIOM-0HH .

Similar antistatic and safety precautions apply when handling and/or installing

I/O modules as for the IPN250.

COM1 and COM2 are configurable for RS232 or RS422 via the BIOS. The default  is RS232.

3.6 Power-up

As the IPN250 runs through its boot sequence, the LEDs light. See the 

LEDs  

section for the functions of the LEDs.

3.6.1 Power-up/Reset Sequence

From the application of 12 V and 5 V power, to the board starting to boot the  operating system typically takes 7 seconds.

Since the ramp‐up times of the 12 V and 5 V system PSU and the on‐board PSUs  will vary with load, the time taken for the IPN250 to come out of reset will vary  from system to system. It is the system designer’s responsibility to account for  this.

The IPN250ʹs power‐on/reset sequence has the following order:

1. Wait for the 3.3 V Auxiliary supply (P3V3_AUX), main 12 V (P12V) and 5 V 

(P5V) VPX power rails to be within specification.

2. Wait for the backplane SEQ_IN pin to go high or 500 mS timeout.

3. Start all on‐board power supplies and power‐up external GPU(s) on  connected NPN240(s).

4. The processor fetches the first instruction from the SPI Flash and runs the 

BIOS.

5. The processor boots the operating system from an external SATA disk or  from the on‐board SATA Flash disk.

3.7 Inter-board Sequencing

The IPN250 supports inter‐board sequencing. This allows for the sequencing of  power between several boards in a system to be controlled.

The power manager holds off all on‐board supplies (except the P3V3_AUX  supply) when the backplane SEQ_IN signal is held low. The power manager  initiates the power‐on sequence if the SEQ_IN signal remains low 500 ms after the  off‐board supplies are within specification (allowing for the possibility that the  previous board in the chain has failed).

The power manager drives the open‐drain backplane SEQ_OUT signal low while  the backplane supplies are out of specification and until it is deemed that inrush  currents associated with power‐on have subsided.

NOTE

If inter-board sequencing is not required, SEQ_IN/SEQ_OUT may be left unconnected.

Publication No. IPN250-HRM/3 Installation and Power Up/Reset 19

3.8 GPU Control Ports

The IPN250 has two GPU control ports, which can be used to control power‐up/ power‐down, resetting and system management of two external GPUs. These  ports are intended to be connected to the GPU control ports of a GEIP NPN240.

The following table shows the available control signals:

The GT215 provides one Dual Link DVI interface. The interface consists of six  differential data channels and a single differential clock channel. Display  resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz can be achieved when connected to a  suitable monitor. The Graphics Subsystem supports hot plug detect on the DVI  port.

HDMI/DVI-SL Output

The GT215 supports a single HDMI v1.3a port. The interface consists of three  differential data channels and a single differential clock channel. The HDMI port  is capable of displaying resolutions up to 1080p when connected via an HDMI  connector on a suitable monitor.

This port may alternatively be used as a Single Link DVI port by connecting to a 

DVI input on a monitor. The Single Link DVI port achieves display resolutions up  to 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz when connected to a suitable Single Link DVI monitor.

The GT125 does not support the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) Interface.

Bits 7, 6 and 5 are asynchronously loaded from the SPARE3, SPARE2 and SPARE1 

backplane signals (on  connector P4

) respectively when power is cycled. These bits  control whether the respective GPU is powered up when the IPN250 next enters  the S0 power state.

NOTE

Software (e.g. BIOS) changes to these bits do not immediately turn on/off the respective GPU - the board must enter an S3, S4, or S5 power state before the change takes effect.

Bits 4 and 3 are reset to 0 to select RS232 by default. If RS422 operation is required,  the BIOS must change these bits before the COM ports are used.

The COM1/COM2 transceivers are disabled following a reset, and are enabled  when this register is first written to. BIOS software must therefore write to this  register with the appropriate bit 3 and 4 settings before attempting to use the 

COM ports.

TOR flag. This determines whether BIT or an application runs on exiting reset:

1 = BIT

0 = Application

This bit defaults to 1 when backplane power is applied to the IPN250 and the board is turned on by the BMM, so that BIT is run initially. On completion, BIT firmware should clear this bit and reset the board, so that the application then runs. If BIT is required to be repeated on subsequent resets, application software should set this bit to 1

The BIT Fail LED (DS13) is normally controlled by the BMM. If the BMM is  unprogrammed, this LED can be controlled using the PGD and PGD_OE bits. To  turn on the LED, set PGD to 0 and PGD_OE to 1; to turn off the LED, set PGD to 0  and PGD_OE to 0

4.6.5 AXIS Timestamp Registers 0 to 5

These read‐only registers can be used to read the 48‐bit timestamp. Register 0  contains the least significant byte and register 5 holds the most significant byte. 

When register 0 is read, the current timestamp value is latched in registers 1 to 5,  so always read register 0 first.

The AXIS timestamp counter is clocked at a fixed frequency of 10 MHz (VPX 

REFCLK divided by 2.5). The counter is reset whenever the VPX SYSRESET signal  is asserted.

5.1.16 Strapping Signals

Strapping signals are backplane pins that are used to configure various aspects of  the operation of the IPN250. They use LVTTL signalling and should either be left  open (logic 1) or connected to GND (logic 0). They have internal 1 K pullup  resistors to 3.3V.

Voltages applied to strapping pins must be within the limits specified in the  following table:

A.8 I/O Modules

The IPN250 is intended for use in deployed systems where all I/O is routed in the  system backplane. However, for use in development chassis (such as the GEIP 

SCVPX6U) or if required in a deployed system, Rear Transition Modules (RTMs)  are available to convert the condensed P0 to P6 pinouts to industry‐standard  formats. 3U breakout panels, offering a variety of industry standard connectors  such as Serial I/O, internal cables and a basic set of external cables are also  available. These rear transition and breakout modules are intended for use in a  benign environment, and so are only available in level 1 or 2 build standards. For  more details on the I/O modules, see the VPX I/O Modules manual.

LINK

VPX I/O Modules Manual, publication number VPXIOM-0HH.

The IPN250 uses two Rear Transition Modules:

• IPN250RTM for the ‘payload’ signals on P3 to P6

• FABRTMP1 for the Fabric signals on P0 to P2

To accommodate a large number of connectors, the standard IPN250RTM‐111 is  dual height (1.6 inch pitch). If this is not suitable for a deployed system that uses 

RTMs, contact GEIP product management to discuss alternatives (e.g. a 1 inch  pitch form factor with customer‐designated I/O).
