A11 – 6U VMEbus PowerPC Workstation

The A11 is an industrial PowerPC workstation with scalable performance delivering

up to 1160 MIPS. When equipped with the 603e, the A11 delivers excellent price-

performance for cost-sensitive applications with a need for high computing power.

The board can also be ordered with the 740 PowerPC CPU family for applications

where maximum perfomance is required.

The A11 is a complete state-of-the-art single-board computer needing only one slot

on the VMEbus. It offers fast Ethernet and Ultra2 SCSI controllers, a large amount

of DRAM, Flash and CompactFlash memory. Four serial interfaces are provided -

two of them default as COM3 and COM4, and the others as COM1 and COM2

directly at the front panel or via a transition module.

The A11 offers computer I/O flexibility by providing two slots for PC•MIP

mezzanine modules, while still providing full front-panel connectivity. Both Type I

and Type II PC•MIP modules can be used to equip the A11 with a full range of

workstation and industrial I/O options. Graphics for VGA, additional Ethernet or

SCSI for server or redundancy purposes, fieldbus interfaces for remote I/O control,

and many others are available, depending on the application.

The A11 CPU board is compatible with Motorola's PowerPC computer boards

(MVME1600 and MVME2600) and offers I/O compatibility with many existing P2

transition modules from Motorola (MVME712M) and other vendors.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components. To protect the board and

other components against damage from static electricity, you should follow some

precautions whenever you work on your computer.

• Power down and unplug your computer system when working on the inside.

• Hold components by the edges and try not to touch the IC chips, leads, or cir-

cuitry.

• Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer components.

• Place components on a grounded antistatic pad or on the bag that came with the

component whenever the components are separated from the system.

• Store the board only in its original ESD-protected packaging. Retain the original

packaging in case you need to return the board to MEN for repair.
