XCP2040-TRN I/O Transition Card Product Note

This XCP2040-TRN I/O Transition Card Product Note is written for users of the XCP2040-TRN. The XCP2040-TRN works with Netra CP2040/CP2140 CompactPCI boards.

The 6U form factor, single slot transition card supplies rear I/O connection to support additional peripherals with simplified system cabling for use with the compatible CompactPCI system host boards. The rear I/O access also enables the complementary system host boards to be replaced without disconnecting cables. Industry-standard connectors and pin assignments ensure ease of use and flexible design. The XCP2040-TRN enables the advancement of high-density systems by enabling easy access to I/O.

See the XCP2040-TRN I/O Transition Card Manual for Netra CP2040 and CP2140 CompactPCI Boards (806-6743-xx) for comprehensive technical details and Important Safety Information for Sun Hardware Systems (816-7190-xx) for important safety information. These documents are available at:

Notes of Caution

1. The XCP2040-TRN board part number, date code, and revision number are identified on labels. Please see FIGURE 3 for their locations. Before installing the transition card, its board part number (for example, 3750121) must be verified to ensure that the correct transition card is being installed into the CompactPCI system.

2. Ensure that the XCP2040-TRN is perpendicular to the backplane when it is connected to the backplane pins. Incorrect vertical or angular positioning during board insertion can result in damage to the backplane and subsequent electrical destruction of the transition card and the corresponding Netra host board (see FIGURE 1).

Technical Support

If you have any technical questions or technical support issues that are not addressed in the Netra CP2040/CP2140 documentation sets or you need to return the CP2040/CP2140 board, contact your local Field Application Engineer.

Please have the board identification information ready (see FIGURE 3). The
XCP2040-TRN board part number, board serial number, and revision number can be found on labels located on the board. For proper identification of the board, please see the list below and FIGURE 3. The Sun Microsystems barcode label provides the following information:

• Board part number (for example, 3750121) which is the first seven digits on the barcode label. The next six digits are the board serial number (for example, 005609).
• Product part number (for example, 5672), product dash (for example, 02) and revision number (for example REV 57).

The board also contains the following information on the subcon label:

• Date code (for example, 03/2001) is the third week of the year 2001.
• Country of origin (for example, ASSEMBLED IN CANADA)

Caution - Ensure that you are installing an XCP2040-TRN by checking to see that its part number is 3750121, as shown in FIGURE 3. Transition cards built for use with other CompactPCI host boards are not compatible with the Netra CP2040/CP2140 board and may cause damage to themselves, the host, and the backplane if installed.

Before Returning Your XCP2040-TRN to Sun Enterprise Services Or World Wide Solution Center

You must get Return Material Authorization (RMA) numbers from Sun Enterprise Services or the World Wide Solution Center for each part you intend to return. If Sun Enterprise Services asks for a system serial number, be sure to indicate that the board was purchased as an OEM product and is not associated with a system.

Sun Enterprise Services will give you specific details on the return procedure for your geographic area. In addition, follow these guidelines in packaging the hardware and addressing the package.

• Take electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions while handling the board:
• Handle the board only by the nonconducting edges.
• Do not touch the components or any metal parts.
• Always wear a grounding wrist strap when handling the board and be sure the wrist strap is connected to ground.

• Please use the original or equivalent packaging material to return the failed part.
• Make sure the RMA number is on the box containing the part.
• If applicable, you may place one box within the other. The outermost box needs to have the RMA number and the part number of its primary contents and the following: destination address, source address, for international shipments, Sun Enterprise Services shipping number to expedite handling in customs.
