Unpacking Guidelines

Table 1-1
What you need to do...
Unpack the hardware.
Identify various components on the board.
Install the MVME3100 board in a chassis.
Connect any other equipment you will use.
Verify the hardware is installed.
1.3.2 Unpacking Guidelines
Unpack the equipment from the shipping carton. Refer to the packing list and verify that all
items are present. Save the packing material for storing and reshipping of equipment.
If the shipping carton is damaged upon receipt, request that the carrier's agent be present

Configuring Hardware

This section discusses certain hardware and software tasks that may need to be performed
prior to installing the board in a chassis.
To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the MVME3100, you
may need to carry out certain hardware modifications before installing the module.
Most options on the MVME3100 are software configurable. Configuration changes are
made by setting bits in control registers after the board is installed in a system.
Jumpers/switches are used to control those options that are not software configurable.
These jumper settings are described further on in this section. If you are resetting the board
jumpers from their default settings, it is important to verify that all settings are reset properly.
