Transition Modules And Adapter Boards Overview - Motorola MVME187 Installation Manual

Transition Modules and Adapter Boards Overview

The MVME187 supports the MVME712-12, MVME712-13,
MVME712M, MVME712A, MVME712AM, and MVME712B
transition modules (referred to in this manual as MVME712X,
unless separately specified).
Note
MVME712X transition modules provide configuration headers and
industry-standard connectors for internal and external I/O devices.
The I/O on the MVME187 is connected to the VMEbus P2
connector.
Note
Other modules in the system may have to be moved to
allow space for the MVME712M which has a double-
wide front panel.
The MVME712X transition module is connected to the
MVME187 through cables and a P2 adapter board as shown
in Figure 3-2 on page
Some cable(s) are not provided with the MVME712X
module(s), and therefore must be made or provided by
the user. (Motorola recommends using shielded cables
for all connections to peripherals to minimize
radiation.)
