– If you do not intend to use the MVME2100 as the system
controller, it can occupy any unused card slot.
4. Slide the MVME2100 (and PMCspans if used) into the selected
card slot(s). Be sure the module or modules is/are seated properly in
the P1 and P2 connectors on the backplane. Do not damage or bend
connector pins.
5. Secure the MVME2100 (and PMCspans if used) in the chassis with
the screws provided, making good contact with the transverse
mounting rails to minimize RF emissions.
Note
Some VME backplanes (e.g., those used in Motorola “Modular
Chassis” systems) have an auto-jumpering feature for automatic
propagation of the IACK and BG signals. Step 6 does not apply
to such backplane designs.
6. On the chassis backplane, remove the
INTERRUPT ACKNOWLEDGE
(IACK) and
BUS GRANT
(BG) jumpers from the header for the card
slot occupied by the MVME2100.
7. If you intend to use PPCBug interactively, connect the terminal that
is to be used as the PPCBug system console to the
DEBUG
port on
the front panel of the MVME2100.
Note
In normal operation the host CPU controls MVME2100
operation via the VMEbus Universe registers.
8. Replace the chassis or system cover(s), cable peripherals to the
panel connectors as appropriate, reconnect the system to the AC or
DC power source, and turn the equipment power on.
9. The MVME2100 green
RUN
LED indicates activity as a set of
confidence tests is run, and the debugger prompt
PPC5-Bug>
appears on the system console.
