PPC7A Product Manual
7-1
Chapter 7 - Installation and Power-up
This chapter describes the installation of PMC cards on the PPC7A and the installation of the PPC7A board in a
system. It then describes power-up of the board.
Two single width (or one double-width) PMCs may be fitted to the PPC7A, which is keyed to accept
only 5V PMCs. See Figure 7-1 for the locations of these PMCs.
Each PMC is supplied with a full kit of parts for mounting it, full fitting instructions and a manual. For
Radstone products, the
PMC Installation Note, publication number HN4/3-99
contains the fitting
instructions. PMCs ordered with a PPC7A can be supplied factory fitted by Radstone, if required.
It may be necessary to install driver software or implement other firmware configuration to achieve full
functionality of a PMC (see the specific PMC manual for the exact procedure).

Note:
You are recommended not to route analog signals through P0.
The PMCPCI PCI expansion card should only be installed in PMC slot 1, as this routes the full PCI bus
through P0. The PMCPCI card occupies half of the slot.
See Appendix A for ordering information.
