D20EME

The D20 Ethernet/Memory Expansion (EME) kit can be installed in a D20 or D200
to add expanded (Global) memory and/or Ethernet capability.
D20EME kits are offered in a variety of options to address common requirements for
D20 and D200 systems, including:
•
Ethernet only systems
•
Expanded (or Global) memory only applications
•
Combined Ethernet and Global memory systems
Applications of The D20EME kit can be used in two main applications:
the D20EME
•
New installations
•
Upgrade or replacement applications.
Upgrades and •
When upgrading a D20 VME or D200 from a GreenSpring Ethernet card to an
Replacements
Ethernet EME card, you need to re-install software into the D20ME/ME II
processor.
•
Upgrading a D200 to use a memory-only EME does not require new firmware,
but may require a new configuration.
•
If you are adding Ethernet capability to an existing D20 VME, first verify that
the D20's power supply is capable of handling the additional load. For further
advice, contact GE for assistance.
•
The interconnect cable that links the EME main board to the MIC card must be
routed inside the D20 or D200 chassis. Routing the cable outside the chassis may
cause excessive EMI radiation and/or interfere with operation.
Table: Chassis Some types of D20 VME chassis cannot be used for EME applications:
