MVME147 BOARD SETUP

The Data Advantage equipment must be powered off when removing or inserting processor
boards.

WARNING

There are two types of processor boards installed in the Data Advantage VME chassis:  MVME147 and
VCOM24.  There will be only one  MVME147 board, located in the bottom slot (slot 1).  There will be one or
two VCOM24 boards, beginning at slot 3.  Each of these boards requires the installation of an EPROM set and
the correct jumper settings for normal operation.

Shown below are the jumper settings for the MVME147 board.  The two EPROMs for this board are to be
installed in U22 and U30.  U1 and U15 will not have any EPROMs installed.
