1.3.1 CompactPCI/PSB Architecture
The cPB-4612 is designed to operate in a PICMG 2.0 CompactPCI backplane. If the system is placed in a
system slot, the bridge will automatically configure itself as a transparent bridge, and the board will perform
as the host. If the board is placed in a peripheral slot, the bridge will automatically configure itself as a non-
transparent bridge, and the board will perform as a peripheral device.
When used in accordance with the CompactPCI Packet Switching Backplane Specification, PICMG 2.16,
Version 1.0, the cPB-4612 functions as a "Dual Link Port Node" board. The cPB-4612 can be connected to a
