VR7 Replacement

The XVME-689-VR7 is a powerful, very low power VMEbus PC compatible processor module from XycomVME, the pioneer and leader in VMEbus PC technology. The XVME-689-VR7 VMEbus processor integrates an Intel® Celeron® M processor running at 1.0GHz with a PCI-to-VMEbus interface. This VME processor module allows users to take advantage of the low power, multiprocessing capability of the VMEbus while using standard off-the-shelf PC software, operating systems and VMEbus I/O modules. It is a drop in replacement for the VR7 VMEbus processor


XVME-689-VR7 Overview

The module incorporates the Intel® 855GME/6300ESB chipset. On board memory is available for 256Mb, 512Mb, 1Gb and 2Gb using ECC DDR 266/333MHz SDRAM.

Dual Ethernet 10/100/1000Mbps on the front panel which can be switched to the optional rear connector for Vita 31.1 or rear Ethernet support. Using a Compact PCI type switch module and Vita 31.1 chassis, for Vita 31.1 switched fabric, can provide dual XVME-689-VR7 processor, fail over technology on the VMEbus.

For headless operation the XVME-689-VR7 can be configured for “serial console mode”. The XVME-689-VR7 can be configured for all rear I/O using a USB keyboard and mouse with the rear Video configuration.

The XVME-689-VR7 has one PMC site on-board with the option to expand to four additional PMC sites with the optional XVME-976/209 carrier board(s). The XVME-976/209 carrier board occupies the adjacent VME slot on the component side of the XVME-689-VR7 and connects with a high speed mezzanine connector.
