Installing the XVME 689-VR7 into a Backplane
This section provides the information necessary to install the XVME 689-VR7 into the VMEbus
backplane. The XVME 689-VR7 is a double-high, single-slot VMEbus module.
Note
Xembedded modules are designed to comply with all physical and electrical
VMEbus backplane specifications of VME64x.
Note
The XVME 689-VR7 is available from the factory in two basic configurations,
with P0 and without P0. The without P0 would normally be used in a legacy
system since most of these racks are equipped with a stiffener bar in the P0
location. Also note that to use the extended features of the XVME 689-VR7, the
backplane must use 160-pin P1 and P2.
Caution
Do not install the XVME 689-VR7 on a VMEbus system without a P2
backplane.
Warning
Never install or remove any boards before turning off the power to the bus and
all related external power supplies.
1.
Disconnect all power supplies to the backplane and the card cage. Disconnect the power
cable.
2.
Make sure backplane (5 rows) 160-pin connectors P1 and P2 are available.
3.
Verify that all jumper settings are correct.
4.
Verify that the card cage slot is clear and accessible.
5.
Install the XVME 689-VR7 in the card cage by centering the unit on the plastic guides in the
slots (P1 connector facing up). Push the board slowly toward the rear of the chassis until the
P1 and P2 connectors engage. The board should slide freely in the plastic guides.
Caution
Do not use excessive force or pressure to engage the connectors. If the boards
do not properly connect with the backplane, remove the module and inspect all
connectors and guide slots for damage or obstructions.
6.
Secure the module to the chassis by tightening the machine screws at the top and bottom of
the board.
7.
Connect all remaining peripherals by attaching each interface cable into the appropriate
connector on the front of the XVME 689-VR7 board as shown in Table 2-.
