If no ESD station is available, you can avoid damage resulting from ESD
by wearing an antistatic wrist strap (available at electronics stores). Place
the strap around your wrist and attach the grounding end (usually a piece
of copper foil or an alligator clip) to an electrical ground. An electrical
ground can be a piece of metal that literally runs into the ground (such as
an unpainted metal pipe) or a metal part of a grounded electrical appliance.
An appliance is grounded if it has a three-prong plug and is plugged into a
three-prong grounded outlet. You cannot use the chassis in which you are
installing the MVME167P itself as a ground, because the enclosure is
unplugged while you work on it.

Warning
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
MVME167P, you may need to reconfigure hardware to some extent before
installating the board.
Most options on the MVME167P are under software control: By setting
bits in control registers after installing the module in a system, you can
modify its configuration. (The MVME167P registers are described in
Chapter 3 under ENV – Set Environment, and/or in the Programmer's
Reference Guide listed in
Appendix E, Related Documentation
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.
