Hardware Installation
The following sections discuss the placement of mezzanine cards
on the MVME2603/2604 base board, the installation of the
complete MVME2603/2604 VMEmodule assembly and transition
module into a VME chassis, and the system considerations relevant
to the installation. Before installing the MVME2603/2604, ensure
that the serial ports and all header jumpers are configured as
desired.
In most cases, the mezzanine cardsÑthe RAM200 ECC DRAM
module, the optional PCI mezzanine (if applicable), and the
optional carrier board for additional PCI expansion (if
applicable)Ñare already in place on the MVME2603/2604. The
user-configurable jumpers are accessible with the mezzanines
installed.
Should it be necessary to install mezzanines on the base board, refer
to the following sections for a brief description of the installation
procedure.
ESD Precautions
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap
Use ESD
and a conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system.
Electronic components, such as disk drives, computer boards, and
memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to ESD. After removing
the component from the system or its protective wrapper, place the
component flat on a grounded, static-free surface (and in the case of a
Wrist Strap
board, component side up). Do not slide the component over any
surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores)
that is attached to an unpainted metal part of the system chassis.
