Hardware Preparation and Installation
2.3.2
Power Requirements
The MVME7100ET uses only +5.0V from the VMEbus backplane. On-board power
supplies generate the required voltages for the various ICs. The MVME7100ET connects
the +12V and -12V supplies from the backplane to the PMC sites while the +3.3V power
supplied to the PMC sites comes from the +5.0V backplane power. A maximum of 10A of
+3.3V power is available to the PMC sites, however the 90W +5.0V limit must be observed
as well as any cooling limitations.
The table below provides an estimate of the typical and maximum power required.

Thermal Requirements
The MVME7100ET module requires a minimum air flow of 10CFM uniformly distributed
across the board, with the airflow traveling from the heat sink to the PMC2 site, when
operating at a 55°C (131°F) ambient temperature.
