Model V152
Installation and Setup
The Model V152 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.
The V152 consists of a VME Single Board Computer and a VXIbus adapter unit. Both of these
cards require various strap and switch selections to be set before installing the module in the
VXI chassis. 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. The V152 will be referred to as two components,
the V152 adapter and the V152 SBC (Single Board Computer). Any reference to switch and
strap locations on the V152 adapter can be found in this manual. Any references to strap and
switch settings on the V152 SBC can be found in the companion manual for the VME SBC
installed in the V152. Please refer to Appendix A of this manual for the location of the straps
and switches on the V152 adapter.

Slot0 Configuration
The V152 may be configured as a Slot0 controller or as a non-Slot0 controller. The V152 is
shipped from the factory as a Slot0 controller. Several strap and switch setting must be set to
enable the V152 Slot0 functionality.
The V152 must first be setup as system controller to assume the responsibilities of a Slot0
controller. A switch setting on the V152 must be set and a strap on the SBC must also be
installed. The switch on the V152 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 V152 to function as a Slot0
controller.
This switch controls the direction of the VXIbus signals SYSCLK and BCLR.
Setting this switch to the CLOSED (0) position enables the V152 to receive the SYSCLK and
BCLR signals for non-Slot0 applications. A strap on the V152 SBC must also be set to match
the setting on the V152 adapter. If the V152 adapter is configured as a system controller, the
V152 SBC 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 V152 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.
