Card Installation
10 – DOS Based Quick Start
VL-486-4 Reference Manual
Card Installation
A typical VersaLogic DOS based system consists of a six-slot V32-06T Card Cage, populated
with:
•
VL-486-4 CPU Card
•
VL-SVGA-1 Card
A VGA compatible monitor and a PC/AT compatible keyboard plug into the VL-SVGA-1 card.
Warning!
To prevent damage, cards should be inserted in and removed from the card cage
only when the system power is off.
Caution
To avoid damaging cards, they must be oriented correctly (usually with the card
ejector toward the top of the card cage.) Refer to the card cage documentation for
the correct way to insert STD Bus cards.
Cards in this system have no requirements as to position. User cabling needs can dictate card
positions. The recommended card positions below tend to keep the DOS related cables to one
side of the card cage.
