Installation
9.
Make sure the cardcage slot that will hold the XVME-678/688 is clear and accessible. If using
the XVME-678/688 in conjunction with the XVME-955 module, make sure that the two cardcage
slots to the right of the XVME-678/688 (which will hold the XVME-955) are also clear.
10.
Install the XVME-678/688 into the cardcage by centering the unit on the plastic guides in the slots
(PI connector facing up) and pushing the boards slowly toward the rear of the chassis until the
PI and P2 connectors engage. The boards should slide freely in the plastic guides.
CAUTION
Do not use excessive force or pressure to engage the connectors. If the
boards do not properly connect with the backplane, remove the module and
inspect all connectors and guide slots for possible damage or obstructions.
11.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the machine screw at the top and bottom of each
board.
12.
Connect all remaining peripherals by attaching each interface cable into the appropriate connector
on the front of the XVME-678/688 board as follows: VGA cable-VGA, keyboard-KEYBD, serial
devices-COM 1 and COM2, and parallel device-LPTl. Refer to Figure 2-2 on page 2-6 for
locations of these connectors.
Assuming the steps in the previous sections of this chapter have been followed, the power to the VMEbus
cardcage can now be turned ON.
