1 Box contents

The Penguin Edge™ KIT-IEEE-2500 is used to convert 
MVME2500ET boards with SCANBE handles to IEEE handles. This 
kit does not include the VME board.

Make sure you receive all items of your shipment as shown in the 
following table:  

Tools needed:

Phillips head screwdriver

1/8" hex nut driver

9/32" hex nut driver or open end wrench

NOTE:

 Care should be taken not to scratch the front panel with the 

tools employed.

2 Safety

When installing or servicing the system or accessories, 
strictly observe the safety precautions in the board’s 

Safety Notes Summary

. Ignoring these instructions can 

void the system warranty and cause personal injury or 
property damage.

3 ESD

Electrostatic discharge and incorrect installation or 
removal of the card can damage circuit or shorten its 
life. Use a properly grounded ESD wrist strap or work in 
an ESD-safe environment. Connect to the ESD 
connector at the front or the rear of the system.

4 Site preparation

Make sure that all environmental and power requirements defined in 
the 

Penguin Edge™ MVME2500 Installation and Use

 manual are 

met. Operating temperatures refer to the temperature of the air 
circulating around the board and not to the actual component 
temperature.

5 Remove front panel 

assembly (SCANBE)

WARNING: Do not remove the heat frame from the board as 
this will damage the thermal interface material and compromise 
the integrity of the board.

Reference Diagram A to remove the front panel/SCANBE ejector 
handle assembly from the board.

1. Remove front plate mounting hardware:

– Heat frame screw
– Reset switch hex nut and washer (set aside*)
– Mini DB-9 connector jack posts (set aside*)

2. Carefully pull the reset switch through the rear of the front panel, 

leaving the wiring intact. 

3. Remove two M2.5x14mm screws from the bottom of the board. 

Note these screws mate with hex nuts on the top side of the 
board. 

4. Slide the Part Number and Logo panels off the ejector handles to 

expose the internal screw. This action can be accomplished 
using your thumb.

5. Unscrew and remove the internal screw in each handle.
6. Gently move each handle back and forth until the metal 

alignment block and plastic lever (which are joined by a hidden 
pin) are no longer trapped between the heat frame and PCB. 

7. Carefully tilt the front panel assembly away from the board, 

taking care not to break the light pipes (USER1, FAIL), and 
remove from the PCA.

8. Remove the PMC/XMC slot cover and set aside*.

*

The jack posts, reset switch hex nut and washer, and PMC/XMC 

slot cover

 

will be reused for the installation of the front panel/IEEE 

ejector handle assembly.
