Configuring The Xvme-977 - Xycom XVME-977 Manual

To install the XVME-977 in a card cage...
1. Turn off power to the chassis.
2. Connect the jumper cable from the CPU slot to the XVME-977 slot on the rear of the
P2 backplane, as shown in Figure Chapter 2 -1.
It should not be necessary to use excessive force or pressure
to engage the connectors. If the board does not connect prop-
erly with the backplane, remove the module and inspect all
connectors and guide slots for possible damage or obstruc-
tions.
3. Apply straightforward pressure to the handles on the front of the panel, until the
connectors are fully engaged and properly seated.
4. Once the board is properly seated, secure it to the chassis by tightening the machine
screws at the top and bottom of the XVME-977 board.
5. Turn on power to the unit.
