Configuring VME Option Boards

Once you have thoroughly planned or reviewed your system configuration, read the
appropriate sections in this chapter for instructions on how to prepare each new or
replacement VME board. Be certain to read the first section, "Installing Board
Jumpers and Setting Switches." You can skip sections for boards that are not in your
planned configuration or for existing boards that are already properly jumpered and
installed.

service internal components or options in AViiON 5000, 6000,
7000, and 8000 series systems risk both personal injury and

the maintenance and expansion of these systems by qualified
