About This Manual

MVME167P Single-Board Computer Installation and Use provides
general information, instructions for hardware preparation and installation,
operating instructions, and a functional description for the MVME167P
series of Single Board Computers (referred to as the MVME167P
throughout this manual).
The "Petra" chip that distinguishes MVME167P single-board computers is
an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used on various Motorola
VME boards which combines a variety of functions previously
implemented in other ASICs (among them the MC2 chip, the IP2 chip, and
the MCECC chip) in a single ASIC. On the MVME167P, the "Petra" chip
replaces the MCECC ASIC. As of the publication date, the information
presented in this manual applies to the following MVME167P models.
