INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter explains how to configure an XVME-400/401/490/491 Module prior to
installation in a VMEbus backplane. Included in this chapter is information on module
base address selection jumpers, module interrupt level selection jumpers, +5V, tri-state
jumpers, connector pinouts, and a brief outline of the physical installation procedure.
2.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The XVME-400/40I Modules (single-high) or the XVME-490/491 Modules (double-high)
are VMEbus-compatible modules. To operate, each must be properly installed in a
VMEbus backplane.
The minimum system requirements for the operation of an XVME-400/401/490/491
Module are one of the following:
A ) A host processor properly installed on the same backplane.
A properly installed system controller module which provides the
following functions:
l Data Transfer Bus Arbiter
System Clock Driver
System Reset Driver
Bus Timeout Module
O R
B) A host processor which incorporates the system controller functions on-board.
An example of such a controller subsystem is the XYCOM XVME-010 System Resource
Module (SRM).
Prior to installing the XVME-400/401/490/491 Module, it will be necessary to configure
several jumper options. These options are:
1)
Module base address within the short I/O address space
2)
Address modifier codes to which the module will respond
3)
Interrupt level
4)
+5, tri-state jumpers (XVME-401 only)
