VME Card Installation
VME Overview
9.05 VME Configuration and Driver Development Guide (Part Number
A2636 90020). Documentation for creating these drivers for HP-UX 10.x is
contained in the VME Services for HP-UX 10 (Part Number A4412 90021).
CAUTION: If you need to remove the VME tray module from the cardcage, the PCI or
EISA tray module must be removed first.
Following is an outline of the steps for installing VME Cards. For complete
instructions for installing VME cards and configuring VME resources,
please refer to the HP-UX 9.05 VME Configuration and Driver Development
Guide (Part Number A2636-90020) or VME Services for HP-UX 10 (Part
Number A4412-90022). You will need the information in these guides to
configure VME resources.
CAUTION: Please note that when you are installing any VME card into any VME card
cage, DO NOT let the card hang by its own weight while you slide it into the
card cage. For horizontally mounted cards, you MUST lift the card slightly
so that the card clears cards or bezels mounted in lower slots, in order to avoid
damage to components on the underside of the card. For vertically mounted
cards, you MUST insert the card carefully to avoid contacting cards or bezels
to the right or left.
For more information on the VME specification for this observation,
please refer to The VMEbus Specification, ANSI/IEEE STD-1014-
1987 IEC 821 & 297, Section 7.10.
