ADLINK NuPRO-E43: PICMG 1.3 Core 7th Generation Industrial SHB

Operating system deployment: If using Windows 7, it is necessary to confirm that it is paired with a 6th generation CPU and only supported on LAN1 (I219LM). Windows 7 does not natively support USB 3.0, and deployment requires the use of PS/2 interface or pre injection of USB 3.0 drivers (which can be injected through tools).

TPM module installation: The TPM module needs to be plugged into the onboard TPM pin and secured with the accompanying screws. After installation, the TPM 2.0 function needs to be enabled in the BIOS and the Infineon TPM driver needs to be installed to complete initialization.

Tips for troubleshooting common engineering problems

Problem phenomenon 1: There is no display after the system is powered on, but the fan is running

Key points for inspection: Confirm whether the CPU model is on the support list (especially if ES engineering samples may not be recognized). Check if the memory module is fully inserted into the DIMM slot and locked. Attempt to start with minimal configuration (CPU+single memory only).

Key point: Although both the 6th and 7th generation CPUs are LGA1151, some BIOS versions may need to be updated to support the 7th generation CPU (Kaby Lake). It is recommended to confirm the BIOS version before installing the 7th generation CPU.

Problem phenomenon 2: PCIe expansion card cannot be recognized or has abnormal performance

Key points of inspection: Confirm whether the PCIe bifurcation setting in BIOS is consistent with the physical slot of the backplane. For example, if the fork is set to 2 × x8 and the backplane actually provides 4 x4 slots, it may result in link training failure.

Key point: Enter the Chipset configuration menu in the BIOS, check the PCIe root port settings, and ensure that the fork mode is correct.

Problem phenomenon 3: Communication abnormality of COM2/COM3 serial port in RS-422/485 mode

Key points of inspection: Confirm whether the serial port mode (RS-232/422/485) is correctly configured in the BIOS. Check if the terminal resistance configuration of the external device matches.

Key point: For RS-485 half duplex mode, it is necessary to ensure that the application correctly controls the data direction switching (usually through RTS signal or software control). If automatic flow control is enabled, the driver configuration needs to be verified.
