CM5 Ethernet Switch
Table
| Item | Status | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 180 × 120 mm rectangular PCB | Completed | Board changed from 160 × 100 mm to 180 × 120 mm, sharp-corner rectangle. |
| Standard 6 Layer stackup | Completed | Applied six copper layers: Signal / Ground Plane / Signal / Power Plane / Ground Plane / Signal. Standard 0.6 mm pad / 0.3 mm drilled through-vias span L1→L6. |
| PCB U1/U2/U3 placement | Completed | U1 brought inside the board; U2 placed beside U1; U3 placed to the right of U2 toward the LAN ports. |
| Connector preservation | Completed with necessary edge adjustment | J1/J2/J8 were left at their valid positions. J3–J6 were translated to the enlarged right edge without rotation changes. J7 was moved in-bounds on its existing bottom-side region. |
| Support-cluster placement | Completed | PCIe capacitors, clocks, reset/bias/strap parts, decouplers, and each MagJack LED/center-tap cluster were moved with their parent blocks. |
| Schematic U1 restoration and visual reflow | Unsupported / unattempted | The available project write tools do not expose schematic symbol/wire arrangement. U1 remains at schematic (485, -18881.4), not requested (96, -985). No schematic placement or wire geometry was changed. |
| Routing | Completed as prohibited action | No routing command was run and no logical connectivity was edited. |

| Ref | Final position (mm) | Rotation | Mutation |
|---|---|---|---|
| U1 | (-57.8787, 13.6213) | 270° | Moved from (-74, 11.5) because the former footprint extended beyond the new left board edge; final nudge cleared local overlaps. |
| U2 | (7, 10) | unchanged | Moved from (-23.77, 124.07). |
| U3 | (32, 10) | unchanged | Moved from (-34.15, 207.81). |
| J1 | (-35, -38.51) | 270° | Unchanged. |
| J2 | (-55, 32.93) | 90° | Unchanged. |
| J3 | (73, -5) | 90° | X moved from 58 mm to the enlarged right edge. |
| J4 | (73, 16.5) | 90° | X moved from 58 mm to the enlarged right edge. |
| J5 | (73, 38) | 90° | X moved from 62 mm to the enlarged right edge. |
| J6 | (73, -38) | 90° | X moved from 69 mm; kept separate as the CM5 native WAN port. |
| J7 | (-2.05, -43.9452) | unchanged | Moved from out-of-bounds (-2.0452, -81.7395) and clamped in-bounds. |
| J8 | (15, 41.9476) | unchanged | Unchanged. |
