VMEbus systems. This module is built to communicate with Xycom’s XVME-65x and 66x VMEbus PC/AT processors. Power for the XVME-979 is provided by the P1 and P2 connectors. Signals are routed through P2. Figure 1-1 illustrates this in a block diagram of the XVME-979.
XVME-979 Manual Interconnect Definition Signals from the CPU board to the XVME-979 travel via the P2 connector. The floppy drive connector is a 26-pin board mount connector that is accessible through the front panel. The hard drive plugs directly into a 50-pin right angle 2mm connector. The CD- ROM drive will be connected to a SL CDROM Interface Adapter Board.

XVME-979 Manual Environmental Specifications Table 1-4 provides the environmental specifications for the XVME-979. Table 1-4 Environmental Specifications Characteristic Specification Humidity 20 to 80% RH, non-condensing Temperature Operating 5° to 50° C Ambient (41° to 122° F) Non-operating -40° to 65° C ambient (-0° to 149° F)
Installing into a VMEbus Card Cage The XVME-979 occupies only one double-high VMEbus slot, and fits into any standard 6U VMEbus card cage. Like all of Xycom’s modules, the XVME-979 is designed to comply with all electrical VMEbus backplane specifications. This module only draws current from the +5 volt power supply.
1. Remove the four hard disk drive mounting screws from the back of the XVME-977 and remove the hard disk drive. Connect the hard disk drive to the XVME-979/1 and install the hard disk drive mounting screws (that were removed from the XVME- 977) to the back of the XVME-979/1.
