Installing the VXIpc 800 Series
This section contains general installation instructions for the
VXIpc-800. Consult your VXIbus mainframe user manual or technical
reference manual for specific instructions and warnings.
1.
Plug in your mainframe before installing the VXIpc-800. The
power cord grounds the mainframe and protects it from electrical
damage while you are installing the module.
Warning: To protect both yourself and the mainframe from electrical hazards,
the mainframe should remain off until you are finished installing the
VXIpc-800 module.
2.
Remove or open any doors or covers blocking access to the
mainframe slots.
3.
If you are installing the VXIpc-800 into a D-size mainframe, install
a support designed for installing C-size boards in D-size
mainframes. The VXIpc-800 has no P3 connector and cannot
provide P3 Slot 0 control to VXI devices requiring this capability.
Warning: If the VXIpc-800 is not configured for automatic Slot 0 detection, be
certain that the slot you select in your VXIbus mainframe matches the
VXIpc-800 configuration as either a Slot 0 device or a Non-Slot 0 device.
If you install your VXIpc-800 into a slot that does not correspond with the
jumper setting, you risk damage to the VXIpc-800, the VXIbus backplane,
or both.
4.
Insert the VXIpc-800 in the slot you have selected by aligning the
top and bottom of the module with the card-edge guides inside the
mainframe. Slowly push the VXIpc-800 straight into the slot until
its plug connectors are resting on the backplane receptacle
