To install the USPIIe-USB, a standard VME chassis with a P1/P2 backplane (3-row or 5- row connector) is required. If the USPIIe-USB is to be used in a workstation configuration instead of an embedded controller, a hard disk and graphics frame buffer or serial terminal will also be required.

VME P2 bus, depending on the setting of solder bead SB3501. The Standard USPIIe-USB VME P2 Paddle Board is designed to access TTYB signals only. If you want to connect to TTYA signals, you will need a Multiple I/O Paddle Board; or you may provide your own connectivity, or call Themis Computer for a cost estimate on building a custom Paddle Board.
The USPIIe-USB features an RJ45 port on the Front Panel for 10/100Base-T Ether- net interface connections. In the case of the USPIIe-USB/1, where only the Baseboard is present, a single net- work connection (Ethernet A) is available through the RJ45 connector. In the case of the USPIIe-USB/2P2, a second network (Ethernet B) can be available through the Audio/Ethernet/Serial-I/O section of the P2 Carrier Board Front Panel.
1.4.8 USB-0 and USB-1 USB ports 0 and 1 are located together on the Front Panel of the USPIIe-USB (see Appendix C, “Front Panel Diagrams”). Pin signal descriptions are given in Table A-5 on page A-8 (Appendix A, ”Connector Pinouts, LEDs, Switches”).
1.4.9 USB-2 Signals for USB port 2 are accessible through the P2 connector of the USPIIe-USB VME backplane (see Table A-2, page A-4, in Appendix A, ”Connector Pinouts, LEDs, Switches”). Please note that the standard Paddle Board cannot be used to access the USB-2 port.

USPIIe-USB Hardware Manual Flash Mapping and Boot Control Flash mapping is controlled by Jumper Pins JP2701, JP2702, and JP2703 (see Table B-1 on page B-3). Write accesses to the Flash memory can be enabled or disabled using Jumper Pins JP2201, JP2202, and JP2203.
16-bit counter register, a 16-bit limit register, and an 8-bit status register. The counter register and the status register are read-only while the limit register is read/write. Refer to the USPIIe-USB Software Manual for a description of the Watchdog Registers.
UltraSPARC-IIe refer to the UltraSPARC-IIe User’s Manual, published by SUN Microelectronics (SME). When no watchdogs have expired, the USPIIe-USB is in a “normal” state. When the level 1 watchdog expires, a maskable interrupt is sent to the Ichip. The USPIIe-USB is considered to be in a “warning”...
If the CPU thermal shutdown option is enabled, the PLD will generate an over-tem- perature interrupt to the Ichip, assert a hi-temp-trip signal to the VME P2 bus, and turn off CPU core power. [See USPIIe-USB Software Manual, Chapter 3, "Temperature Monitoring", for more details.] Themis Computer...
Chapter Resets Overview This chapter presents a brief discussion of the reset structure of the USPIIe-USB. The various types of resets, some possible reset sources, and reset effects are explained. Resets are used to force all or part of the system into a known state. A Reset is defined as any action or signal that places the UltraSPARC-IIe in Reset, Error, or Debug State (RED_State).
USPIIe-USB Hardware Manual The USPIIe-USB reset tree uses the UltraSPARC-IIe CPU in conjunction with the power monitor (SMS44), PLD, and the Universe II VMEbus Interface ASIC. The PLD receives the power-ok signal from the SMS44, and receives input from the push-button reset to set the B_POR bit in the reset_control_register (Table 6-1 on page 6-6).
6.2.3 Watchdog Reset (WDR) On the USPIIe-USB, a Watchdog Reset (WDR) is generated in response to the error_state of the UltraSPARC-IIe. It is generated internally to the UltraSPARC-IIe core. The UltraSPARC-IIe will enter an error_state when a trap occurs and Trap_Level = Max_Trap_Level - 1.
PLD vme_reset_mode control register; see Table 5-1 on page 5-2). If the incoming VME system reset is allowed to reset the USPIIe-USB system, the PLD may assert sys_reset to the CPU, which propa- gates a reset to the entire board.
An incoming VMEbus reset may be enabled or disabled through the setting of jumper JP1601. If JP1601 is ON, the USPIIe-USB can see the reset from the VME- bus. If JP1601 is OFF or left open, resets from the VMEbus will be ignored. The incoming VMESYS reset is controlled further by the vme_reset_mode control register in the PLD.
USPIIe-USB Hardware Manual 6.3.6 Software XIR Software may initiate a reset equivalent to an Externally-Initiated-Reset (XIR) by setting the SOFT_XIR bit in the UltraSPARC-IIe Reset_Control Register (Table 6-1 below). This bit will remain set until software clears it, to allow software to detect the source of the reset.

Memory Module Connector Caution: Because of the VME Specification requiring a 0.8-inch interboard sepa- ration (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-5) between VME slots, only one Memory Module can be installed onto a USPIIe-USB Baseboard (stacking not supported). P0501 (Plug) Side View...
Overview This appendix provides a summary of the DIP-switch, jumper-pin, and solder-bead configurations for all boards on the USPIIe-USB. At the present time, there is only one DIP switch, which is contained on the PMC Carrier Board (top side). Jumper pins and DIP switches are considered “field-configurable”...
USPIIe-USB Hardware Manual in Figure B-1. To set a switch to the ON position, push the switch toward the ON direction with a pointed object (a pencil, for example); for OFF, push the switch in the opposite direction. Note: Because of the small size of the DIP switch, it may be necessary to use a magnifying glass.
B.2.2 Baseboard Jumper Pins Jumper pins are found only on the top side (component side) of the USPIIe-USB Baseboard and are described in Table B-1. In Table B-1, an ON jumper position means the jumper is installed, shorting the pins and completing the circuit.
#3 during power-up. See Chapter 4, "Universe II Description". c— When the USPIIe-USB is accessed through a 3-row VME backplane, only SE mode is supported, and a jumper must be installed on JP1801. If there are 1 or more SE-mode SCSI devices present on the SCSI bus, the entire bus will run in SE mode.
Tables 4-3 and 4-4 in Chapter 4 of the USPIIe-USB Software Manual. Figure B-2 on page B-6 provides the location of the various jumpers on the USPIIe-USB Baseboard. In Figure B-2, jumper pin 1 is identified with a square and a triangle.
B.3.1 Baseboard Solder Beads Solder beads are found only on the bottom side (solder side) of the USPIIe-USB Baseboard and are described in Table B-5. In Table B-5, if no pin number is given, only 2 solder pins exist. If there are 3 solder pins, the two pins listed are shorted together.

B.3.4 PMC Carrier Board Solder Beads Solder beads are found only on the bottom side of the USPIIe-USB PMC Carrier Boards and are described in Table B-8. Note: Solder beads are the same for both the 2P2 and 2P3 PMC Carrier Boards, with the exception that the audio interface is not supported on the 2P3 model, as indicated in Table B-8.

This appendix contains diagrams of all front panels (faceplates) for each possible model configuration of the USPIIe-USB. It is intended as a reference to the I/O and monitoring functions of the specific product. See Table C-1 on page C-1 for a list of USPIIe-USB models.
All front panels measure 264-mm (10.4”) high by 20-mm (0.8”)wide. C.1.2 Ejector Handles The USPIIe-USB comes with Triple-E-type VME ejector handles. On special order, APW “snap-lock” and Elma IEEE P1101.10 VME64-type replacement handles can be installed. C.1.2.1 VME64-type Handles Only When VME64-type handles are installed, make sure to secure all ejector handles with the mating pins that are shipped with the system (see Figure C-1).
USPIIe-USB Front Panels C.1.3 PS/2 and USB Protocols The USPIIe-USB offers the option of choosing either PS/2 or USB protocol, accessed through a mini-DIN-8-type or dual-USB-type front-panel connector. This choice must be implemented by Themis before the Baseboard is shipped, since it involves the setting of multiple solder beads (see Appendix B, “DIP-Switch,...
