1Hardware Preparation and

Introduction

This manual provides general product information along with hardware
preparation, installation and operating instructions for the
MVME1603/1604 family of Single Board Computers.
The MVME1603/1604 is a double-high VMEmodule equipped with a
PowerPC™ Series microprocessor. The MVME1603 is equipped with a
PowerPC 603 microprocessor; the MVME1604 has a PowerPC 604
microprocessor. 256KB of level 2 (L2) cache memory is available as an
option on both versions.
The MVME1603/1604 family has two parallel branches based on two
distinct versions (MVME1600-001 and MVME1600-011) of the base
board. The differences between the MVME1600-001 and the
MVME1600-011 lie mainly in the area of I/O handling; the logic design is
the same for both versions.
In either case, the complete MVME1603/1604 consists of the base board
plus:
The block diagrams in Figures 1-1 and 1-2 illustrate the architecture of the
MVME1600-001 and the MVME1600-011 base boards.
A processor/memory module (PM603 or PM604) with optional L2
cache
An LED mezzanine (MEZLED) to supply status indicators and
Reset/Abort switches
A DRAM module (RAM104) for additional memory
An optional PCI mezzanine card (PMC) for additional versatility
