Basic Setup

The following steps outline the procedure for setting up a typical development system. The VL-
EPM-24 should be handled at an ESD workstation or while wearing a grounded antistatic wrist
strap.
Before you begin, unpack the VL-EPM-24 and accessories. Verify that you received all the items
you ordered. Inspect the system visually for any damage that may have occurred in shipping.
Contact Support@VersaLogic.com immediately if any items are damaged or missing.
Gather all the peripheral devices you plan to attach to the VL-EPM-24 and their interface and
power cables.
It is recommended that you attach standoffs to the board (see Hardware Assembly) to stabilize
the board and make it easier to work with.
Figure 2 shows a typical start-up configuration (using RoHS-compatible cables).
