Xycom XVME-654 Manual page 25

Xycom modules are designed to comply with all physical and electrical VMEbus
backplane specifications.
Do not install the XVME-654 on a VMEbus system without a P2 backplane.
Never install or remove any boards before turning off power to the bus and all related
external power supplies.
1. Disconnect all power supplies to the backplane and card cage, and disconnect the
power cable.
2. Make sure backplane connectors P1 and P2 are available.
3. Verify all jumper settings.
4. Verify that the card cage slot that will hold the XVME-654 is clear and accessible.
5. Install the XVME-654 into the card cage by centering the unit on the plastic guides
in the slots (P1 connector facing up). Push the board slowly toward the rear of the
chassis until the P1 and P2 connectors engage. The board should slide freely in the
plastic guides.
Do not use excessive force or pressure to engage the connectors. If the board does not
properly connect with the backplane, remove the module and inspect all connectors
and guide slots for possible damage or obstructions.
6. Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the machine screw at the top and
bottom of the board.
