It includes a block diagram for both the HP E1403C and HP E1407A Adapter Modules. The chapter also includes, for the HP E1407A Adapter Module, instructions on how to use and install the J2 Connector Cable, how to select the direction (to or from the mainframe’s backplane) of the trigger signals on the ECL and TTL trigger lines, and how to select unbuffered or buffered SUMBUS connections.
Provides proper timing for data Transfer Acknowledgment (DTACK) and Interrupt Signals (IRQ). • Provides connectivity for HP B-size modules or any P1-only VXIbus slave module (Bus Master signals are not provided. These include: BBSY*, BLCR*, BR0*, BR1*, BR2*, BR3*, SERCLK, SERDAT.)
Chapter 2 Installation/Removal Instructions This chapter shows how to install/remove B-size VXIbus modules into/from the HP E1403C or HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module, and how to install/remove the adapter module into a C-Size VXIbus Mainframe. Note The procedures in this chapter shows installation/removal of the Adapter Module into/from the HP E1401A High Power Mainframe.
Installing an Adapter Module with a B-Size VXIbus Module The procedure starting on the next page shows how to install an HP E1403C or HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module into an HP E1401A Mainframe. (The installation procedures for other mainframes is similar.) The procedure then shows how to install a B-Size VXIbus Module into the adapter module.

Selecting the TTL Trigger Direction (HP E1407A Only) The HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module has a switch that allows you to set the trigger signal direction of the TTL0–TTL7 Trigger Lines. Figure 3-7 shows that the TTL7 Trigger Signal comes from the B-Size Module, and TTL0–TTL6 from the Mainframe's VXI Backplane.
Selecting the ECL Trigger Direction (HP E1407A Only) The HP E1407A C-Size Adapter Module has a switch that allows you to set the trigger signal direction of the ECL0 and ECL1 Trigger Lines. Figure 3-8 shows that the ECL1 Trigger Signal comes from the B-Size Module, and ECL0 from the Mainframe’s VXI Backplane.
Adding Buffer The adapter module has no circuitry available to buffer the SUMBUS. However, there is a breadboard area on the PC board in the HP E1407A Circuitry to the Adapter that allows you to add your own circuitry (e.g., op-amps) to provide SUMBUS buffering for the SUMBUS.
Appendix A HP E1403C and HP E1407A Specifications Product Characteristics • P1 and P2 extension fully buffered (P1 only on HP E1403C). • Slave-only capability; cannot be used in Slot 0 with bus masters. • Unlimited number of adapters per mainframe.
