Warning
Turn the system’s power off before you perform these procedures. Failure
to turn the power off before opening the enclosure can result in personal
injury or damage to the equipment. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy
levels are present in the chassis. Hazardous voltages may be present on
power switch terminals even when the power switch is off. Never operate
the system with the cover removed. Always replace the cover before
powering up the system.
Preparing the Board
To produce the desired configuration and ensure proper operation of the
MVME162P2, you may need to reconfigure hardware to some extent
before installing the board.
Most options on the MVME162P2 are under software control: By setting
bits in control registers after installing the module in a system, you can
modify its configuration. (The MVME162P2 registers are described in
Chapter 3 under ENV – Set Environment, and/or in the MVME1X2P2 VME
Embedded Controller Programmer's Reference Guide as listed under
“Related Documentation” in Appendix E.)
Some options, though, are not software-programmable. Such options are
either set by configuration switches or are controlled through physical
installation or removal of header jumpers on the base board.
