Model V15X-AA11
Installation and Setup
The Model V15X-AA11 is shipped in an anti-static bag with a styrofoam packing container.
Carefully remove the module from its anti-static bag and prepare to set the various options to
conform to the operating environment. Make sure that all anti-static precautions are taken to
avoid damaging the module.
For an initial test the V15X-AA11 and the VME Single Board Computer (SBC) may be plugged
together without any modification needed.
The following chart shows the strap/switch selections along with their default configurations.
If any of the user requirements vary from the default configuration, consult the following
sections for changing the parameter. Please refer to Appendix A of this manual for the location
of the straps and switches on the V15X-AA11.

Slot0 Configuration
The V15X-AA11 may be configured as a Slot0 controller or as a non-Slot0 controller. The
V15X-AA11 is shipped from the factory as a Slot0 controller. Several strap and switch setting
must be set to enable the V15X-AA11 Slot0 functionality.
Refer to the SBC manual for
enabling the System Controller.
The V15X-AA11 must first be setup as system controller to assume the responsibilities of a
Slot0 controller. A switch setting on the V15X-AA11 must be set. The switch on the V15X-
AA11 is labeled SW2 and the switch location of interest is position 1. This switch must be
placed in the OPEN (1) position to allow the V15X-AA11 to function as a Slot0 controller. This
switch controls the direction of the VXIbus signals SYSCLK and BCLR. If the V15X-AA11
adapter is configured as a system controller, the must also be configured the same way.
The next selection to be made concerns the VXIbus MODID (Module ID) signal and an internal
signal on the V15X-AA11 indicating Slot0 operation. These selections are made via three of the
switch positions of switch SW2. Position 2 controls the internal indication for Slot0 operation.
This switch must be set to the OPEN (1) position for Slot0 operation. Position 3 of switch SW2
controls the MODID signal 825 ohm pulldown resistor. When the V15X-AA11 is in a Slot0
position, this switch must be set to the OPEN (1) position to disconnect the resistor from the
MODID signal since this resistor is provided on the VXI chassis backplane for the Slot0
position.
