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: 761 mode and PMC mode.
761 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 Card in PMC slot 1.
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:
