GE Intelligent Platforms – VR11, VP11 Hardware Reference Manual, Second Edition
Advice on VMEbus products
On a standard VMEbus backplane, remove the jumpers on the IACKIN -
IACKOUT interrupt daisy-chain (1 jumper) and on the BGxIN - BGxOUT bus
grant daisy-chains (4 jumpers) for the slot where the board is to be mounted.
The daisy-chain jumpers on the VMEbus backplane should be mounted on all
free slots.
Setting jumpers is not necessary for the GE Intelligent Platforms Auto-Daisy-
Chain VMEbus backplane (order number: VBUSxxAD). Please read additional
advisories within the manual.
A board with system controller functionality must be fitted into slot 1 (for GE
Intelligent Platforms products, see additional notes within the manual).
The backplane must supply +3.3 V and +5 V.
Because the board is available in several options the description in this chapter
is related to the standard configuration.
Mount the CPU board carefully in the VME slot. Note that on some boards
connectors are used for I/O purposes and should not be inserted into a VME
backplane. A transition module must be used instead.
Advice on Batteries
There is danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by GE Intelligent Platforms.
Dispose of used batteries according to instructions of GE Intelligent Platforms
and applicable local regulations.
The following items are required to start the board in a standard configuration:
Backplane and Power Supply
You will need a standard VME backplane wired into a regulated power supply
capable of providing stable low noise +5 V and +3.3 V sources. Make sure that
the supply is capable of meeting the total power requirements of the VR11.
Please refer to chapter 'Specifications' for details.
Initially, you may plug the board into your 3U or 6U system slot of your
VMEbus system. Please make sure that you do not have the power supply
turned ON while plugging the board into your backplane.
Keyboard and Mouse
You should have a compatible keyboard for initial system operation.
Depending on your application, this keyboard may be a standard keyboard, or
one which utilizes membrane switches for harsh environments. The keyboard is
attached via a USB connector.
