Installation
The VMICPCI-7611 conforms to the CompactPCI physical specification for a 6U
board. The VMICPCI-7611 is a system slot only board. It can be plugged directly into
any standard chassis accepting this type of board. The following picture illustrates the
symbol use to identify the slots in a standard CPCI chassis.
CAUTION:
Do not install or remove the board while power is applied.
The following steps describe the VMIC recommended method for installation and
powerup of the VMICPCI-7611:
1. Make sure power to the equipment is off.
2. If a PMC module such as VMIC’s VMIPMC-7441 is to be used, connect it to the
VMICPCI-7611 prior to board installation. Refer to the Product Manual for that
particular board for configuration and setup.
3. The VMICPCI-7611 must be installed in the designated system slot of the
CompactPCI backplane (See symbols above for selection of the correct slot).
NOTE:
The VMICPCI-7611 requires forced air cooling. It is advisable to install blank
panels over any exposed slots. This will allow for better air flow over the
VMICPCI-7611 board.
4. Insert the VMICPCI-7611 into the CompactPCI chassis system slot. While
ensuring that the board is properly aligned and oriented in the supporting board
guides, slide the board smoothly forward against the mating connector. Use the
ejector handles to firmly seat the board.
5. All needed peripherals can be accessed from the front panel and the rear I/O
VMIACC-0576 Rear Transition utility board. Each connector is clearly labeled on
the front panel, and detailed pinouts are in Appendix A.
6. The VMICPCI-7611 features a Flash Disk resident on the board. Refer to
Chapter 4 for set up details.
7. If an external drive module is installed, the BIOS Setup program must be run to
configure the drive types. See Appendix B to properly configure the system.
