Before installing the MVME5100 into your VME chassis, ensure that the
jumpers are configured properly. This procedure assumes that you have
already installed the PMCspan(s) and any PMCs that you have selected.
Perform the following steps to install the MVME5100 in your VME
chassis:
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in
this equipment. Use extreme caution when handling, testing,
and adjusting.
1. Inserting or removing modules with power applied may
result in damage to module components.
2. Avoid touching areas of integrated circuitry, static discharge can
damage these circuits
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD
strap to an electrical ground. Note that the system chassis may not
be grounded if it is unplugged. The ESD strap must be secured to
your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure
2. Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power
off and remove the AC cord or DC power lines from the system.
Remove chassis or system cover(s) as necessary for access to the
VME module
3. Remove the filler panel from the VMEbus chassis card slot where
you are going to install the MVME5100. If you have installed one
or more PMCspan PCI expansion modules onto your MVME5100,
you will need to remove filler panels from one additional card slot
for each PMCspan, above the card slot for the MVME5100.
– If you intend to use the MVME5100 as system controller, it must
occupy the left-most card slot (slot 1). The system controller
must be in slot 1 to correctly initiate the bus-grant daisy-chain
and to ensure proper operation of the IACK daisy-chain driver.
– If you do not intend to use the MVME5100 as system controller,
it can occupy any unused card slot.
