3. INSTALLATION 

3.1 Overview 

The GT200 VME card requires a single 6U VME or VME64x backplane slot and 
interfaces directly to a fiber-optic cable. 
 
To install a GT200 VME card, follow the steps below: 

1.  Unpack the card. 
2.  Inspect the card. 
3.  Configure the card. 
4.  Install the card. 
5.  Connect the cables. 

3.2 Unpack the Card 

 

CAUTION

:  Exercise care regarding the static environment. Use an anti-static mat 

connected to a wristband when handling or installing the GT200 card. Failure to do this 
may cause permanent damage to the components on the card. 

Follow the steps below to unpack the card: 

1.  Put on the wristband attached to an anti-static mat. 
2.  Remove the card and anti-static bag from the carton. 
3.  Place the bag on the anti-static mat. 
4.  Open the anti-static bag and remove the card. 
5.  In the unlikely event that you should need to return your GT200 VME, please 

keep the original shipping materials for this purpose. 

Any optional equipment is shipped in separate cartons. 

3.3 Inspect the Card 

The GT200 VME consists of a VME64x carrier card with a GT200 PMC installed. If the 
assembly was damaged in shipping, notify Curtiss-Wright Controls, Inc. or your supplier 
immediately.
