Hardware Preparation and Installation
The MVME6100 board interfaces to the VMEbus via the P1 and P2 connectors, which use 5-row
160-pin connectors as specified in the VME64 Extension Standard. It also draws +12V and +5V
power from the VMEbus backplane through these two connectors. The +3.3V, +2.5V, +1.8V,
and processor core supplies are regulated on-board from the +5V power.
For maximum VMEbus performance, the MVME6100 should be mounted in a VME64x
compatible backplane (5-row). 2eSST transfers are not supported when a 3-row backplane is
used.
The MVME6100 supports multiple modes of I/O operation. By default, the board is configured
for Ethernet port 2 to the front panel (non-specific transition module), and PMC slot 1 in IPMC
mode. The board can be configured to route Ethernet port 2 to P2 and support MVME712M or
MVME761 transition modules. The front/rear Ethernet and transition module options are
configured by jumper block J30.
Selection of PMC slot 1 in PMC or IPMC mode is done by the jumper blocks J10, J15-J18, and
J25-J28 (see
module is used. If an IPMC is used, J30 should be configured for the appropriate transition
module (see J30 configuration options as illustrated in
Options Header (J30) on page
The IPMC712 and IPMC761 use AD11 as the IDSEL line for the Winbond PCI-ISA bridge device.
This device supplies the four serial and one parallel port of the IPMC7xx module. The Discovery
II PHB (MV64360) does not recognize address lines below AD16. For this reason, although an
IPMC7xx module may be used on an MVME6100, the serial and parallel ports are not available,
nor addressable. This issue will be resolved at a later date.
Other functions, such as Ethernet and SCSI interfaces, are function independent of the
Winbond IDSEL line. The wide SCSI interface can only be supported through IPMC connector
J3.
PMC mode is backwards compatible with the MVME5100 and MVME5500 and is accomplished
by configuring the on-board jumpers.
