be installed in the left-most card slot (slot 1) to correctly initiate the bus-

grant daisy-chain and to have proper operation of the IACK-daisy-chain

driver. The MVME197 is to be installed in the front of the chassis and the

MVME712X transition board which has a double-wide front panel is to be

installed in the rear of the chassis.

d. Carefully slide the MVME197 module into the card slot. Be sure the

module is seated properly into the P1 and P2 connectors on the backplane.

Do not damage or bend connector pins. Fasten the module in the chassis

with screws provided, making good contact with the transverse mounting

rails to minimize RFI emissions.

e. Remove the IACK and BG jumpers from the header on the chassis

backplane for the card slot in which the MVME197 is installed.

Connect the P2 Adapter Board and specified cable(s) to the MVME197 at

P2 on the backplane at the MVME197 slot, to mate with (optional)

terminals or other peripherals at the EIA-232-D serial ports, parallel port,

SCSI ports, and LAN Ethernet port. Refer to the manuals listed in Related

Documentation section for information on installing the P2 Adapter Board

and the MVME712X transition module. (Some connection diagrams are

provided in the MVME197LE, MVME197DP, and MVME197SP Single

Board Computers Programmer's Reference Guide). Some cable(s) are not

provided with the MVME712X module and therefore, are made or

provided by the user. (Motorola recommends using shielded cables for all

connections to peripherals to minimize radiation). Connect the

peripherals to the cable(s).

g. Install any other required VMEmodules in the system.

h. Replace the chassis cover.

Connect the power cable to the ac power source and turn the equipment

power ON.
