Completing the Installation

The MVME7100ET is designed to operate as an application-specific computing blade or an
intelligent I/O board/carrier. It can be used in any slot in a VME chassis. When the
MVME7100ET is installed in a chassis, you are ready to connect peripherals and apply
power to the board.

connectors on the MVME7100ET and MVME721ET.
Product Damage
RJ-45 connectors on modules are either twisted-pair Ethernet (TPE) or E1/T1/J1
network interfaces. Connecting an E1/T1/J1 line to an Ethernet connector may
damage your system.

Make sure that TPE connectors near your working area are clearly marked as
network connectors.

Verify that the length of an electric cable connected to a TPE bushing does not
exceed 100 meters.

Make sure the TPE bushing of the system is connected only to safety extra low
voltage circuits (SELV circuits).
If in doubt, ask your system administrator.
The console settings for the MVME7100ET are:
 Eight bits per character
 One stop bit per character
 Parity disabled (no parity)
 Baud rate of 9600 baud
Verify that hardware is installed and the power/peripheral cables connected are appropriate
for your system configuration.
Replace the chassis or system cover, reconnect the chassis to the AC or DC power source,
and turn the equipment power on.
