Hardware Preparation and Installation

1.1

Introduction

The MVME3100 is a single-slot, single board computer based on the MPC8540
PowerQUICC III™ integrated processor. The MVME3100 provides serial ATA (SATA), USB
2.0, 2eSST VMEbus interfaces, dual 64-bit/100MHz PMC sites, up to 128MB of flash, dual
10/100/1000 Ethernet, one 10/100 Ethernet, and five serial ports. This board supports front
and rear I/O and a single SODIMM module for DDR memory. Access to rear I/O is available
with the MVME721 rear transition module (RTM).
Front-panel connectors on the MVME3100 board include: one RJ-45 connector for the
Gigabit Ethernet, one RJ-45 connector for the asynchronous serial port, one USB port with
one type A connector, one SATA port with one external SATA connector, and a combined
reset and abort switch.
Rear-panel connectors on the MVME721 board include: one RJ-45 connector for each of
the 10/100 and 10/100/1000 BaseT Ethernets and four RJ-45 connectors for the
asynchronous serial ports. The RTM also provides two planar connectors for one PIM with
rear I/O.
