Installation Procedure - PowerPC Basecard
Before You
Begin...
Warning
This card uses components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharges. It
must be kept in its conductive package until just before the installation
begins. Remove the card from its protective package only at a grounded
workstation while wearing an approved grounding wrist strap. Avoid
touching any metal contacts on the card; static discharge can damage
integrated circuits.
Turn the power off before inserting or removing cards from the VME
chassis. Failure to do so could damage the card circuitry or cause personal
injury.
Unpack and
Configure the
Cards
Before installing the card into a chassis, ensure that you complete the
pre-installation tasks described in Chapter 2 of the Getting Started Manual for
the basecard and in Chapter 2 of this manual.
Install the
PMC-700-X00 on
the Basecard
If you received your PMC-700-X00 as a stand-alone product, install it in a
PMC slot of your basecard using the DY 4 mounting kit (901354-037 for
SVME products and 901354-131 for DMV products).
When the PMC-700-X00 is mounted in slot 1 (at the centre of the basecard),
its I/O signals are available on the backplane P0 connector. When the
PMC-700-X00 is mounted in slot 2 (near the P2 connector), its I/O signals are
available on the backplane P2 connector.
Choosing a VME
Slot Location
Select Slot 1, the left-most slot in the VME chassis, if you want the basecard
to be the System Controller (SYSCON). If you intend to use another card as
the SYSCON, select the left-most unoccupied slot. All VME cards should be
installed in adjacent slots; leaving empty slots may cause problems with
interrupts and Bus Grant signals.
Insert the
Basecard in the
Chassis
Ensure that the chassis power is turned off before inserting the card.
An SVME basecard is equipped with a faceplate compliant with IEEE
1101.10. The large ejectors on this faceplate facilitate insertion of the basecard
into the 160-contact, 5-row connectors for P1 and P2.
If the faceplate is not compatible with your chassis, you can purchase an
alternate faceplate from DY 4. Use the basecard generic drawing to determine
how to mount the faceplate on the card.
With SVME basecards with the alternate faceplate and with DMV cards,
proper mating of these connectors with the VME backplane requires a
significant amount of insertion force. Use extra care when aligning and
