Installing the Transition Module and P2 Adapter
Install the MVME761 transition module and P2 adapter in the system chassis. The P2 adapter
is required because the P2 connector on the transition module is not compatible with the P2
connector on the chassis backplane.
Use ESD
protection
ESD
Emerson strongly recommends that you use an antistatic wrist strap and a conductive
foam pad when installing or upgrading a system. Electronic components, such as disk
drives, computer boards, and memory modules, can be extremely sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). After removing the component from its protective
wrapper or from the system, place the component flat on a grounded, static-free surface
(and, in the case of a board, component side up). Do not slide the component over any
surface.
If an ESD station is not available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD by wearing
an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores) that is attached to an active
electrical ground. Note that a system chassis may not be grounded if it is unplugged.
Install the MVME761-0x1 in the system chassis according to the procedures in this chapter.
An MVME5100/MVME5500 module that is designed for use with an MVME712M
Transition Module will be damaged if you use it with an MVME761-0x1 Transition
Module.
Connecting modules while power is applied may result in damage to components on
the module.
Dangerous voltages, capable of causing death, are present in this equipment. use
extreme caution when handling, testing, and adjusting.
