Startup and Operation

2.1

Introduction

This chapter gives you information about the power-up procedure and runtime switches
and indicators.
2.2

Applying Power

After you verify that all necessary hardware preparation is complete and all connections are
made correctly, you can apply power to the system.
2.3

Before Applying Power

Verify that the chassis power supply voltage setting matches the voltage present in the
country of use (if the power supply in your system is not auto-sensing)
On powering up, the MVME3100 brings up the MOTLoad prompt, MVME3100>

Switches and Indicators

The MVME3100 board provides a single push button switch that provides both abort and
reset (ABT/RST) functions. When the switch is pressed for less than five seconds, an abort
interrupt is generated to the processor. If the switch is held for more than five seconds, a
board hard reset is generated. The board hard reset will reset the MPC8540, local
PCI/PCI-X buses, Ethernet PHYs, serial ports, Flash devices, and PLD(s). If the
MVME3100 is configured as the VME system controller, the VME bus and local TSi148
reset input are also reset.
The MVME3100 has four front-panel indicators. The following table describes these
indicators:
