1-8
The following instructions tell how to install the PrPMC750 on a typical
VME or CompactPCI single board computer and how to install the
optional memory mezzanine module on the PrPMC750.
Motorola strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a
conductive foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic
components such as: disk drives, computer boards, and memory modules
can be extremely sensitive to ESD. After removing the component from
the system or its protective wrapper, place the component on a grounded,
static-free surface (if a board, component side up). Do not slide the
component over any surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from
ESD by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available locally) that is attached
to an unpainted metal part of the system chassis.
To install a PrPMC750 mezzanine on an VMEmodule or CompactPCI
board, refer to Figure 1-2 and perform the following steps:
1. Attach an ESD strap to your wrist. Attach the other end of the ESD
strap to the chassis as a ground. The ESD strap must be secured to
your wrist and to ground throughout the procedure.
2. Perform an operating system shutdown. Turn the AC or DC power
off and remove the AC cord or DC power lines from the system.
Remove the chassis or system cover(s) as necessary to gain access
to the VMEmodule or CompactPCI board.
Inserting or removing modules with power applied may result
in damage to module components.
