# 1 Introduction

The cPCI-8273 is a three port IEEE-1394a 3U CompactPCI card supporting 32-bit data transfers on a 33MHz cPCI bus. cPCI-8273 implements the VIA VT6306 PCI1394a integrated host controller. VIA's VT6306 is the industry's first IEEE 1394a/OHCI 1.0/1.1 single chip that combines a 400/200/100Mbps physical-layer (PHY) with a 32-bit PCI Bus/Card Bus 1394a Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI1.1/1.0). The cPCI-8273 provides high performance serial connectivity for system integration in mission critical applications.

Check for the following items included in the package. If there are any missing items, contact your dealer:

▶ cPCI-8273
This User's Manual
▶ ADLINK CD

Note: The packaging of the cPCI-8273 OEM version with non-standard configuration, functionality, or package may vary according to different configuration requests.

# CAUTION:

![The image displays a yellow triangular warning sign with a thick black border. Centered inside the triangle is a large red exclamation mark. A black horizontal bar is visible along the top edge of the image.](.cpci-8273-manual-1/9b206140f011627e3616878e4749420b99669f1a962914a51545679a6651fd1f.jpg)

The cPCI-8273 must be protected from static discharge and physical shock. Never remove any of the socketed parts except at a static-free workstation. Use the anti-static bag shipped with the product to handle the board. Wear a wrist strap grounded through one of the system's ESD Ground jacks when servicing system components
