Installation Overview

Installation Overview
Chapter 2 provides step-by-step instructions for attaching and installing
accessories in a typical VME chassis, and connecting external devices.
Accessories are products that attach to the computer's system board and
must be attached before installing the board computer in a VME card cage.
Devices are products used externally to the board computer. Examples are
keyboards, monitors and mass storage devices. Other devices are connected
through cables. Depending on your specific application, you may need one
or more accessory and device products. Installation instructions for most
products used directly with your Model 743 Board Computer are explained
in this manual.
Chapter 3 presents the installation tasks required to install the board com-
puter. It provides information to help you configure and install your VME
board computer.

Installation Notes

Your Model 743 Board Computer uses micro-miniature connectors for sev-
eral interface ports. Cable connectors for these ports are very small, but may
be positioned so that a slight angle exists between them. This situation has
been tested by HP and full functionality is maintained.
The Model 743 Board Computer's P2 connector has a local bus on the user-
defined pins. Verify that your VME card cage's backplane makes no
connections to J2/P2, rows A and C. Refer to IEEE STD 1014-1987, Chapter
7, for more information on user-defined pins used in VME backplane
connectors.
