3.4.8. Bus Mastering
The cPCI-MXS64GX provides seven pairs of REQ/GNT (0-6) arbitration signals through
the Secondary PCI bus. This means the board is capable of driving up to seven CPCI slots
with PCI Bus Master capabilities.
3.4.9. Connection
To install the cPCI-MXS64GX board into a bay, proceed as follows:
1.
Locate the 6U system slot
2.
Remove the front plate of the slot where you intend to insert the cPCI-MXS64GX.
3.
Ensure the module is properly aligned with the guide-rails and slide it gently until
it touches the backplane connector
!
WARNING
1.
Some mechanical parts of the guide-rail are fragile (shield contacts
and clips). Do not use force to insert and connect a CompactPCI
module.
2.
If there is any mechanical resistance while you insert a module, first
ensure there is no mechanical obstacle and check for the alignment
of all parts.
5.
To engage the board's connectors into the backplane connector, press
simultaneously on the front plate.
6.
Fasten the module using the fellow-plate fixing screw to secure the module to the
system chassis.
To remove the module from the chassis, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the front plate fixing screws.
2.
Press the handle to act as a lever to disengage the CompactPCI connector from the
backplane.
