    Considerations For Installation VMEbus Slot Requirements The VC1-250 requires one slot in a standard VMEbus 6U card cage. Many drives have a steel cover, which could potentially cause a shorting problem. If you are going to have a VMEbus card located in the next adjacent slot, carefully check it to make sure that no leads are likely to touch the top of the drives mounted on the VC1-250 module.

Align the VC1-250 module into its respective card cage slot card guides and slide the module in until the P1 and P2 connectors initially mate. Apply pressure to the ejector handles to fully seat the module / connectors.
