4.4 Graphics Board Installation

The graphics board can plug into any 32-bit, 33 or 66 MHz, 5V or 3.3V
signaling IEEE 1386-2001 compatible single module PMC location. Such
locations are most commonly found on VME and CompactPCI computers.
The graphics will also work in CompactPCI or PCI systems by using a
carrier.
Important Compatibility Note:
While the graphics boards will work in a PCI or CompactPCI passive (no
on-board bridge) carriers, the timing margins of the SM731 are such that
the graphics boards will not work reliably at 66 MHz.
Unless you are certain that your system is running and will always be run
only at 33 MHz, you must use an active (on-board bridge) PCI or
CompactPCI carrier.

Note:
Older VME host or carrier boards may not supply 3.3V to the PMC
connectors.
operate correctly in any system that does not supply BOTH 5V and 3.3V.
By special order, Rastergraf can supply the Topaz, Stratus, and Tropos
graphics boards with a local 3.3V regulator installed. Garnet and Duros
boards do not have a local regulator option. Please contact Rastergraf for
assistance.
