Introduction

This chapter provides information on hardware preparation and installation for the MVME5100
Series of Single Board Computers.
Note
Unless otherwise specified, the designation "MVME5100" refers to all models of the
MVME5100-series Single Board Computers.

Getting Started

The following subsections include information helpful in preparing your equipment. It includes
and overview of the MVME5100, any equipment needed to complete the installation, and
unpacking instructions.

Overview and Equipment Requirements

The MVME5100 interfaces to a VMEbus system via its P1 and P2 connectors and contains two
IEEE 1386.1 PCI Mezzanine Card (PMC) Slots. The PMC Slots are 64-bit and support both
front and rear I/O.
Additionally, the MVME5100 is user configurable by setting on-board jumpers. Two I/O modes
are possible: PMC mode or SBC mode (also called 761 or IPMC mode). The SBC mode uses
the IPMC712 I/O PMC and the MVME712M Transiton Module, or the IPMC761 I/O PMC and
the MVME761 Transition Module. The SBC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME761
transition card and the P2 adapter card (excluding PMC I/O routing) used on the
MVME2600/2700 product. This mode is accomplished by configuring the on-board jumpers and
by attaching an IPMC761 PMC in PMC slot 1. Secondary Ethernet is configured to the rear.
PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME2300/MVME2400 and is accomplished by
simply configuring the on-board jumpers.
The following equipment list is appropriate for use in an MVME5100 system:
PMCspan PCI expansion mezzanine module (mates with MVME5100)
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Mezzanine Cards (PMCs) (installed on
an MVME5100 board)
RAM500 memory mezzanine modules (installed on an MVME5100 board)
VME system enclosure
System console terminal
Disk drives (and/or other I/O) and controllers
